Figural Silver Napkin Ring by Meriden - RARE Horse Pulling Cart 1890's

Antiques : Silver, Sterling

 

A rare and unbelievable find! Absolutely fantastic condition figural silver plate napkin ring by Meriden Silver Company, circa 1890. It is 3 1/4" long, 1 7/8" at widest point, and 2 1/2" high.

There is a horse pulling a cart with the napkin ring on top. The wheels turn freely. There is a hand chased bird and wreath on the top - NO initials or names on this one. A few very minor dings - but silver plate is NOT WORN OFF on any portion of the figural napkin ring.

I have seen figurals like this being auctioned for an estimated final price of $800 to $1,000! So, this one is a real bargain!

The napkin ring is just as I acquired it, I have not polished it, that is for the buyer to determine.

Shipping will be $10.50 which INCLUDES insurance of up to $500.00.
