salvrätte

Salvrätte is a Swedish term that translates to "napkin ring" in English. It refers to a decorative ring or band used to hold a cloth napkin in place, typically at a dining table. Salvrätte can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, wood, ceramic, plastic, or even natural elements like shells or twigs. Their designs can range from simple and functional to elaborately ornate, often reflecting the aesthetic of the table setting or the occasion.

The use of napkin rings is a common practice in many cultures, serving both a practical purpose and adding an element of elegance to a meal. They help keep napkins tidy and prevent them from unfolding or becoming dislodged. In formal settings, a well-chosen salvrätte can complement the tableware and enhance the overall dining experience. They can also be a thoughtful gift or a collectible item for those who appreciate table decor. The specific style and material of a salvrätte can vary widely, from minimalist modern designs to antique or handcrafted pieces, each offering a unique touch to a place setting.
