About This Piece
A fine French sterling silver napkin ring worked in the Rococo or Louis XVI style, c. 1880, by Henri Soufflot, Paris. A large applied cartouche decorates the front with Rococo styling and small flowers; the monogram appears to be "DS." Henri Soufflot operated at 89 Rue de Turbigo, registered his sponsor’s mark (a rising sun over a five-pointed star under the letters HS) on 12 April 1884, and manufactured silverware, fine cutlery, and silver flatware until the mark was struck off on 30 April 1910.
