An Antique Georgian Cheese Coaster - On Original Castors

18th century
For Sale by Opus Antiques
Description

This is a lovely example of a Georgian mahogany cheese coaster. It has well turned handles and roundels to  each of the ends.

A great feature is that it still retains its original leather coated brass castors.

There are no splits to the wood, it is really nice mellow colour.

The cheese coaster measures 44cm w at the widest part x 20cm h x 24cm d.

These were used to put cheese and bread in, and would have been slid down the dining table.

They make a great piece for fruit, nuts or as  a flower display.

This Georgian cheese coaster is constructed from mahogany with a warm brown colour and a mellow finish. The form comprises a curved trough flanked by well turned handles and circular roundels at each end, mounted on a rectangular stepped base with small brass castors. The side profiles sweep upward in a scrolling curve, and the timber shows an intact structure without splits. Originally designed to hold cheese and bread and slid along the dining table during formal meals, this piece adapts well to contemporary domestic interiors. It functions effectively for displaying fruit, nuts, or floral arrangements, and fits comfortably upon a sideboard top or dining table surface.

FAQs

A Georgian cheese coaster is a specialized tabletop vessel crafted in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to hold a wheel of cheese and pass it easily along a dining table.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or fruitwood, frequently fitted with small brass or leather castors on the base.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-carved joinery, original brass wheel castors, turned wooden handle terminals, and natural wear from rolling across dining surfaces.

An antique cheese coaster functions as a decorative centerpiece on a dining table or sideboard, ideal for holding fresh fruit, mail, or decorative accents.

Preserve the wood finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax polish periodically while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources.
