The napkin ring was at one time a standard accessory at the well-appointed dining table, used for both special occasions and everyday meals. A napkin ring sometimes had the name or initials of a household member engraved on it, so that the napkin in it could be reserved for that particular diner.
Many napkin rings were simple cylinders, but the form was elaborated on significantly, incorporating sculptural figures and intricate decorations. Late 19th and early 20th century napkin holders still exist.
Silver-plated examples were moderately priced and an interesting and varied collection can be assembled with relative ease. Collectors should seek out those which have spirited ornamentation or fanciful features, because these are of greater interest and will appreciate in value much more quickly than a relatively plain napkin ring.
The bridal Victorian quadruple silver plate wedding napkin ring measures 1-3/4" diameter and 1-5/8" high and weighs a hefty 3 ounces.
