Antique Silverplate Napkin Ring - Engraved E.L.A. No. 3 - Octagonal Beaded 1900s Tableware
An antique silver‑plated napkin ring from the early 1900s, engraved in elegant cursive with “E.L.A. No. 3.” The octagonal form and beaded borders are characteristic of turn‑of‑the‑century American tableware, when households, clubs, and boarding houses often personalized napkin rings with initials and numbers for individual place settings.
This piece is unmarked, which is typical for silverplate blanks sold to jewelers for custom engraving during this period. The engraving is crisp, the form is classic, and the surface shows a gentle patina consistent with age.
Condition: Very good antique condition with patina and light wear.
Dimensions: Diameter 1 3/4" Width 1 1/8"
A refined antique accent for a curated table, a small silver collection, or a decorative vignette.
