Relatively large at 1 1/2" tall and 1 3/4" wide, and weighing 1.0 T. oz., this napkin ring is stamped with Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem, "Sterling," and model number "2166."
Dating c. 1880, it is bright cut engraved on its otherwise plain walls in an Aesthetic, i.e. Eastlake, style that incorporates fern, leaf, flower, and non-representational detailing and wriggle work.
An open reserve area is inscribed "F.A. Brock." in elegant cursive lettering.
In excellent condition, this is without bends or breaks, the engraving remains well-defined, and the satin finish is warm and even. It is slightly out of round when viewed from above.
