This set of four Made in India brass Christmas napkin rings features cast candle, holly leaf, and berry designs with round brass rings attached at the back.
The warm brass finish and traditional holiday motif suit a Christmas dinner table that leans vintage rather than new and polished. Each candle centerpiece has raised wax, flame, leaf, and berry details, giving the set enough presence to show even after a cloth napkin is slipped through the ring.

Collector's Notes
Brass table accessories made in India were widely exported for Western home decor during the later twentieth century, including decorative pieces made for seasonal entertaining.
This set suits someone building a traditional Christmas table with older brass, warm metals, linen napkins, and collected holiday pieces rather than matching modern decor.
The surviving Made in India sticker is worth noticing because these small paper labels were easily lost after years of handling and cleaning.
The candle and holly design gives the set a clear Christmas identity while the aged brass keeps the look warm and understated.
