About the Item

Dog lovers are sure to enjoy the Victorian ring known as "Shaggy Barking Dog" and memorialized as Plate 32 on page 20 in Gottschalk and Sandra Whitson book "Figural Napkin Rings published in 1996; naturally it is sought after by collectors because of the ubiquitous canine theme. This figural napkin ring is unmarked but attributed to the "Pairpoint Maufacturing Company" established in New Bedford, Massachusetts, circa 1880. The energetic and playful dog looks as if he is trying to balance the circular ring on his back; the ring being decorated in a fleur de lis engraved pattern. The ring is in excellent and all original condition with no restoration; maintaining a lovely patina to nearly all of the silver plated surface; simply a wonderful example of traditional Americana that would be difficult to upgrade. Dimensions: 3 1/4" high x 3 1/4" deep x 1 3/4" wide Provenance: From our own personal collection of original silver plated figural Victorian napkin rings; this example having been acquired in 1993. Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been dealing in fine quality decorative arts, furniture, jewelry, and paintings for more than 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.
