Set of 4 Christmas Stag Head Metal Napkin Rings - Bronze

These stag head napkin rings bring a touch of woodland character to the Christmas table. Each one is made of metal and finished in a deep bronze, with a stag's head sitting at the front of a plain band and a wide spread of antlers rising above it. The face has fine raised detail, from the textured ears to the lines along the neck. Each ring is 6cm tall, 4.5cm wide and 5.4cm deep, small enough to sit neatly beside a plate and large enough for the stag to be seen clearly across the table.

Napkin rings are one of the simplest ways to give a dining table a finished look, and these suit a Christmas dinner or a festive lunch with family and friends. Roll or fold a cloth or paper napkin, slide it through the band and lay it on each plate or beside the cutlery, with the stag facing your guest. The dark bronze sits comfortably with white, cream and natural linen, and it works just as well alongside deep greens, reds or tartan. They sit happily in a farmhouse kitchen or a traditional dining room, and make a thoughtful Christmas gift.

The bronze is a finish over metal rather than solid bronze, and its darker tones settle into the recesses of the face and ears, picking out the detail. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and, after a meal, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid harsh cleaners and scourers, which can wear a finish. Store it somewhere dry between uses and it will be ready to come out again with the decorations next Christmas. For an easy styling touch, tuck a sprig of rosemary, eucalyptus or holly into the band with the napkin, and the stag looks right at home among the greenery.
