This handsome Wendell sterling napkin ring is just stunning. The top and bottom edges are graced with applied tiny flowers that look like the tiny flowers on the Athens or Rococo patterns. Around 3/4 of the napkin ring, an engraved garland of flowers, ribbons, and leaves with the initials of L J V in the center adds so much more to this piece.

It measures 1" high and 1 3/4" diameter. It is signed STERLING with the a lion passant on either side of the letter W indicating Wendell Manufacturing Co. The company was founded by Charles Wendell circa 1850 and was not listed again after 1909.
