Set of Four Antique Brass Napkin Rings – Late Victorian / Edwardian Tableware
.
A beautifully understated set of four antique brass napkin rings, dating to the late Victorian–Edwardian period (circa 1890–1915), with classic beaded detailing and a soft, time-worn golden patina.
.
Each napkin ring features a simple cylindrical form with a satin-finished central band, framed by fine beaded (reeded) borders at the top and bottom. This restrained yet elegant design is characteristic of turn-of-the-century dining wares, where quality craftsmanship and subtle decoration were favoured over excess ornament.
.
The warm tone and gentle surface wear speak to years of use at the table, adding depth and character without compromising their practicality.
.
All four rings match beautifully, suggesting they were originally purchased as a set — something collectors and stylists particularly value.
