FAQs

Wine coasters, also known as bottle slides, emerged in the mid-18th century to protect polished wooden dining tables from scratches and wine drips. Designed to allow bottles and decanters to slide smoothly across surfaces during formal meals, they became essential components of Georgian dining etiquette.

Antique wine coasters were crafted with sterling silver or Old Sheffield plate rims, often featuring detailed pierced lattice or chased floral motifs. The interior bases were constructed from turned hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, lined with baize fabric on the underside.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature official hallmarks struck into the metal, including the lion passant sterling mark, the Sheffield crown assay mark, a specific date letter, and a makers mark. These stamped impressions correspond to official assay office register records.

These historical silver accessories can be styled on sideboards or bar carts to hold decanters and wine bottles during entertaining. They also function as elevated catchall trays on coffee tables or desks for organizing small items.

Silver rims should be polished gently using a specialized silver cloth, taking care not to let polish contact the wood interior. Keep moisture away from the wooden base and baize backing to prevent warping or wood damage over time.
