Antique Russian Silver Cloisonne Enamel Scarf/Napkin Ring - c.1900

Description and Details 

We are delighted to offer this beautiful piece of Imperial Russian solid silver/jewellery/accessory made c.1900.

This wonderful little object is embellished with polychrome cloisonné enamel and naturalistic motifs of orchid-like flowers and scrolled foliage. 

Uniquely, this article is smaller than a usual Russian silver napkin ring, and although it could be used for smaller serviettes, we believe this size would be ideal for scarves and may have been the original intended purpose. 

Pairing with a slightly thick silk scarf with complimentary colours or matching naturalistic motifs most certainly matches well. We believe that even in the modern day, such discerning and elegant style absolutely has a place today and may even serve as a refined conversation starter. 

Despite its modest size, the quality feel in hand, the intricate silverwork and the colourful enamelling are delightful and make for both a splendid collectable and functional piece of silver (or perhaps it could be considered almost jewellery-like). 

The kokoshnik mark indicates assay master Ivan Segeyevich Lebedkin (Moscow -1898-1914) however the marker's mark could not be identified.
