A George V sterling silver napkin ring produced by Henry Matthews, featuring an engine-turned exterior with a fine wavy-line pattern. The design incorporates a central vacant circular cartouche and slightly flared, plain rims. The interior is finished with original gilding that has matured to a deep orange-gold tone. The item bears a full set of British hallmarks including the maker mark HM for Henry Matthews, the anchor for the Birmingham Assay Office, the lion passant indicating sterling silver purity, and the lowercase date letter d for 1928. The napkin ring is housed in its original two-part presentation box from the retailer A.E. Richardson, Watchmaker and Jeweller, 33 Boothferry Road, Goole.
