Figural Butterfly Napkin Ring with Salt Pepper and Butter Pat

Antiques : Silver : Victorian Silverplate

 
This is the Holy Grail of napkin rings. It is also complete which is something almost never seen!

This is a figural Victorian silverplate napkin ring. The ring sits on a maple leaf which has a butterfly on top of it. The butterfly and leaf are wonderfully textural. The ring itself is decorated with intricate Aesthetic engravings. There are 2 little pegs which hold a pepper shaker and a salt cellar. There is also a butter pat with ornate engraved details including a swan and lilies of the valley. The base is marked for Meriden. This piece measures 8" tall by 3 1/2" across by about 5" deep. It is in extremely good condition, but there is corrosion, and even a pair of tiny holes in the salt cellar due to exposure to salt.
