Four of the holders share one distinct style, while the remaining two are in a slightly different design, making for a delightful mismatched set. The chair backs are designed with faux bamboo-like detailing, a popular motif in Victorian silverwork.

Each napkin ring is engraved with ornate decoration—some featuring laurel wreaths or leafy garlands—and several are personalized with names such as “Fleet” and “Dora,” adding a sentimental, collectible quality. The rings are affixed horizontally across the chair seats, with the circular form of the napkin ring doubling as the ‘seat’ of each miniature chair.

These decorative objects likely date to the late 19th or early 20th century and reflect the Victorian-era fascination with novelty tableware. Perfect for adding character to a table setting or for display in a collection of figural silver. See less
