This pair of Elizabeth II wine coasters originates from the modern British period, manufactured in Sheffield in 1970. Constructed from sterling silver, parcel gilt, and oak, the pieces combine silver and gold coloration with natural timber grain. Each circular coaster displays a heavy repousse border decorated with grape bunches, vine leaves, flowers, and shells. The top and bottom rims receive a parcel-gilt finish, complemented by concentric-turned wooden base inserts marked with a series of circular ridges. Full hallmarks appear on the bottom rim. Measuring 6 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, the coasters fit comfortably on a sideboard top or dining table for serving bottles during meals. The pairing suits English Country House interiors, functioning as practical table accessories for formal dining or casual entertaining.

FAQs

Wine coasters, also known as decanter slides, were introduced in the eighteenth century to allow wine bottles and decanters to be slid smoothly across polished dining tables without scratching the wood surface or spilling liquids.

Classic wine coasters typically feature a sterling silver or silver-plated gallery rim surrounding a turned wood base, often crafted from mahogany or oak, which absorbs condensation and stabilises bottle movement.

Authentic English silver coasters display hallmark stampings including a makers mark, purity mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, town mark like Sheffield or London, and a date letter.

In modern interiors, silver wine coasters can be placed on a dining table or sideboard to anchor decanters, displayed on a bar cart, or used as catchalls for small accessories.

Clean the silver surfaces gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid getting liquid polish on the wood insert, which should be dusted with a dry cloth.
