Item: Set of Six Napkin Rings

Manufactured by: Sabattini Argenteria s.p.a/Italy

Country of origin: Italy

Year made: 1970s

Materials: Napkin rings are silverpate over brass.  Box is walnut with suede leather top and bottom.  Cardboard exterior box.  

Dimensions: Napkin rings various sizes, but the presentation box size is 1 ¾” x 8 ¼” x 3 ½” 

Condition: Excellent, retaining its original outer grey and black cardboard Sabattini box.  Some rings have some light scratches from very light polishing and handling.  This set is near mint.

Description:  Here is a very rare set of napkin rings that are all differently shaped, but are put together like a puzzle for storing.  They are in their original fitted walnut and suede leather presentation wood box that was also fabricated at the Sabattini workshop.  Each napkin ring has the impressed Sabattini mark, and the interior of the box is marked “collezione Sabattini”.  We have only seen one other set like this, so it is possible these were special order items.
