Defined by angular forms and powerful materials, the Cestia napkin rings add structured contrast and impact to a sophisticated place setting, juxtaposing soft linens with strong elements of metal, wood, and marble. Established in 1891, Sferra began in Italy as a purveyor of fine Italian lace to the discerning clientele who frequented the grand seaside resorts in the East Coast of the United States. Later, the company expanded to include damasks from Ireland, French Alencon lace, and embroideries from Belgium and Switzerland. Today, Sferra is one of the most respected and innovative brands of luxury bed, bath, and table linens in the United States.
