Pair of Antique George III Silver Wine Coasters

18th century
Description

A highly decorated pair of solid sterling silver bottle coasters, dating from the last year of the reign of George III.

They are hallmarked for Sheffield 1819 and carry the maker's mark of S C Younge & Co.

The coasters are a classic Regency style having rounded bodies with a band of hand-chased fluted decoration, applied gadroon, scroll, & shell borders. The turned hardwood bases are covered in green baize. There is a family crest on the central boss. There is damage to the underside of both rims - I am advised that this is possibly due to air bubbles within the embossed decorations having blown but, as they are not visible unless the coasters are upside down, they have not been repaired and the coasters are priced accordingly.

Dimensions:

Diameter: 16cm

Height: 4cm.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

FAQs

Wine coasters emerged during the mid-to-late eighteenth century in Britain as formal dining etiquette evolved. They were designed to slide wine bottles or decanters across smooth mahogany dining tables without scratching the wood or staining surfaces with wine drips.

Georgian wine coasters were constructed using sterling silver or Sheffield plate rims surrounding a turned hardwood base, most commonly mahogany. The wooden bases often featured central silver bosses and green baize cloth attached to the underside to allow smooth movement.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped along the silver rim or inner edge, including the makers mark, sovereign head duty mark, town mark, lion passant quality mark, and specific date letter. The underside should show turned mahogany construction typical of late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century craftsmanship.

Position silver wine coasters on a dining table, sideboard top, or bar cart to display wine bottles, decanters, or pillar candles. They serve as functional protective trays while adding metallic contrast to polished wood or marble surfaces.

Clean the silver rims using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care not to let liquid contact the wooden base. Avoid immersing the coasters in water, as moisture will warp the turned mahogany wood and loosen the baize underside.
