An antique French sterling silver napkin ring that bridges two great design movements — Neoclassical and Art Deco — both sharing roots in Greek Classicism. One side features a torch and quiver motif; the other, musical instruments. A draped swag and floral motif encircle the ring in an Art Deco manner. An intellectually interesting and visually striking piece.
