FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate was invented in the 1740s by Thomas Boulsover, who discovered that silver and copper could be fused together through heat and pressure. During the Georgian era, wine coasters were created to hold glass bottles and decanters, allowing them to be slid smoothly across polished mahogany dining tables without scratching the surface.

Georgian wine coasters typically feature a fused silver-on-copper upper structure combined with a turned wooden base, often made from mahogany or rosewood. The wooden base provides weight, stability, and protection against surface scratches, while green baize cloth was frequently attached to the bottom.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate can often be identified by bleeding, where the underlying copper core shows through areas of heavy wear on the silver layer. Additionally, these pieces lack standard sterling silver hallmarks, feature drawn silver wire rims, and show visible seam joins or folded edges inside the metal rim.

In contemporary settings, antique wine coasters function well when arranged on a dining table centrepiece, a sideboard top, or a home bar cart. They can hold crystal decanters, modern wine bottles, or even serve as elegant trinket holders for small tabletop accessories.

Clean silver-plated coasters gently using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild silver polish, taking care not to rub excessively on worn edges. Avoid immersing the coasters in water or using liquid dips, as moisture can warp or damage the internal wooden base and lift the felt backing.
