Rare Antique Silver Plated Double Wine / Champagne Coaster Cart by Maple, London C.1890

19th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

My silversmith has meticulously dismounted this wonderful and unusual double tabletop Coaster in the form of a cart. It needed professional cleaning, the woods were dry and required wax polishing, it now looks quite wonderful.

The wheels turn when the cart is pulled along the centre of the table, the kind of Novelty the Victorians simply loved. Perfect for wine, champagne or decanters (the aperture measuring 4 3/4" in diameter).

Each of the coasters unscrews for easy cleaning, each marked Maple and the underside of the carriage is marked Maple London, dating it to around 1890.

Superb condition, measuring 15 3/4" in length including the handle x 6 1/2" wide.

This Victorian silver-plated double wine coaster cart, made by Maple of London around 1890, takes the form of a novelty tabletop carriage designed for holding wine, champagne, or decanters. The piece comprises two circular bottle holders with ornate floral cast borders, mounted on four spoked wheels and fitted with an extended loop handle. Each coaster unscrews for cleaning, and the underside bears the maker mark Maple London. The silver-plated finish presents a bright, reflective metallic sheen across the entire assembly. In a contemporary home, this novelty barware item sits on a sideboard top or dining table centrepiece during dinner parties or gatherings to serve bottles of wine or champagne. The functional wheels turn when the cart is pulled along a flat surface. Practical dimensions measure 40 cm in length including the handle by 17 cm wide, with a bottle aperture measuring 12 cm in diameter.

FAQs

Wine coaster carts, also known as bottle wagons or decanter trolleys, originated in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to transport wine and champagne across formal dining tables without marking the wooden surface. The wheeled design allowed guests to pass beverages smoothly down the length of the table during dinner service.

Victorian wine coaster carts were typically crafted from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver. They featured cast spoked wheels, drawn wire frames, and lathe-turned wood or velvet-lined bases to cushion glass bottles and prevent slippage.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature makers hallmarks or makers marks stamped on the underside, period-appropriate cast jointing, and functional wheeled mechanisms. Visible signs of natural age include soft copper or brass show-through where the silver plating has thinned over time.

An antique silver wine cart can be styled on a sideboard, bar cart, or as a dining table centrepiece. It functions effectively as a decorative serving holder for spirits, wine, or champagne during formal gatherings.

Clean silver plated items using a specialized silver polish applied with a soft microfibre cloth, washing gently in warm soapy water afterwards. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or automated dishwashers to protect the delicate outer layer of silver plating.
