Antique French Sterling Silver Napkin Ring, Louis XVI or Rococo Pattern, "Maurice"
Elegant antique French sterling silver 2" napkin ring with Louis XVI or rococo style pattern and "Maurice" inscription or dedication! It bears the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" in the upper right corner means it's in .950 silver (95% pure so above the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). The silversmith mark is partially visible but I recognize it and it's for Eugene Lefebvre, Paris circa 1896-1910. A perfect match to a mint julep or wine cup, tumbler or "timbale" that we're adding today, both with the "Maurice" inscription, in case you're interested. One among a host of other fabulous treasures so, be sure to browse some while you’re with us. Thanks! We’ve amassed well over 100 great old mostly French sterling napkin rings over the years and I’m working on them now. They're great mixed & matched around your table, wonderful to find a set of twelve or more matching pieces but who could be so lucky. And, isn't it much neater if all are unique, each with
