An Edwardian pair of small sterling silver wine coasters, made by Asprey & Co in London in 1912, designed to hold wine or champagne glasses. The circular vessels show silver and warm brown colourways, finished with gadrooned rims and pierced gallery sides, resting on turned wood bases with central hallmarked silver buttons. Small blemishes appear on the inside rims of both pieces, consistent with age and use, alongside clear and readable hallmarks. Each coaster measures 4.3 cm high and 9.2 cm wide. These items sit suitably on a sideboard top in a dining room or living space to serve wine or hold small decorative objects during gatherings.

Antique silver wine coasters, or bottle coasters, were designed during the eighteenth century to allow wine bottles and decanters to slide smoothly across mahogany dining tables without scratching or staining the polished wood surface.

Traditional bottle coasters feature a hallmarked sterling silver or silver-plated gallery rim surrounding a turned hardwood base, typically mahogany or rosewood, which often incorporates a central silver boss.

Authentic silver coasters bear official British hallmarks detailing the maker mark, fineness mark, assay office mark, and date letter, alongside structural indicators such as hand-pierced silver rims and turned wood inserts.

Silver wine coasters serve as decorative accents on contemporary sideboards, home bar setups, or dining tables, housing wine bottles, crystal decanters, or pillar candles to add metallic texture.

Clean the silver gallery using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid getting liquid polish on the wood base, which should be dusted gently and preserved with beeswax paste.
