Here are some photographs of the napkin rings in my collection that have a fruit, berry or a leaf/branch theme.

This is a private collection display of figural napkin rings and toothpick holders, and some other figurals (such as card trays, and knife rests).
Most of these items were made in the USA from about 1860 to 1900. Some are available FOR SALE/or SWAP.

As a collector I am not really interested in selling any figural napkin rings or toothpick holders that I only have one of (You can still ask though).
I am prepared to sell or swap any items I have more than one of. Swaps will be on the basis of comparable value.

ALL PRICES ON APPLICATION. You can contact me via the link below.

As a collector I am always interested in buying anything I do not already have.

  A large well formed rose with leaves decorates this napkin ring which sits on an oval tiered and footed base, marked Winsted Silverplate Co.. I cannot find out much about this company, but they are noted as a 19th century silverplate company based in Winsted,  and they are mentioned in Gottschalk & Whitson's book on Figural Napkin Rings. This particular ring was also made by the Wm Rogers Mfg Co, as noted in Gotschalk and Whitson's book, and was numbered number 4. The Wm Rogers Mfg Co. is one of the oldest silverplate companies in the USA, and this being numbered "4" would make it one of the first figural napkin rings which was produced after 1869, when it all started. The napkin rings I have are also marked number 4. The condition is excellent to near mint, no plate wear, nice patina, no dents, etc..I only have one of these figural napkin rings now. I think the one on the right has gone.
One available FOR SALE/or SWAP.

2 x rectangular c1900 figural napkin rings with a rose bud and rose leaf decoration on top. They belonged to Bud and Mary (probably a married couple. The rings look similar but different, but I think you will find that the bottom leaf on the right side ring has been raised with respect to teh corresponding leaf on the leaft side ring. It may have been made that way. They are unmarked but are authentic Victorian and look to be silverplated. I may investgate further at a later date.  One available FOR SALE/or SWAP.
