Lovely Antique French Sterling Silver 2” Napkin Ring, Ornate Rococo Style, MV Monogram
Wonderful antique French sterling silver 2” napkin ring with ornate rocaille accented style, floral & foliate accents and engraved script “MV” monogram! A wonderful piece and relatively heavy at 37 grams. This one marked with the post-1878 French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number “1” within that mark means it’s in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for “sterling” silver). The silversmith mark is for Jules Alfred Tranchant, Paris circa 1881-1920.YES, a single here but one of several superb antique and vintage sterling silver napkin rings that we're adding today (and in the weeks ahead) so be sure to browse our current offerings to build a collection fit for royalty :). We’ve amassed 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
