FAQs

An Old Sheffield Plate wine coaster is an 18th or early 19th-century dining accessory made by fusing a thin layer of silver onto a copper ingot before rolling it into sheets. These circular stands were created to hold wine decanters and protect polished wooden dining tables from scratches and spills.

Georgian wine coasters typically consist of fused silver over copper, known as Old Sheffield Plate, or solid sterling silver. The interior bases were frequently fitted with turned hardwood, such as mahogany, often lined with green baize or velvet to facilitate smooth sliding across table surfaces.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate can often be identified by bleeding, where the underlying copper shows through worn silver areas, particularly on high points. Look for turned wooden bases, hand-pierced gallery borders, and folded silver edges designed to conceal the copper layer, rather than modern electroplating marks.

In modern interiors, an antique wine coaster can be styled on a dining table, sideboard, or bar cart to hold modern decanters or wine bottles. Alternatively, it can serve as a decorative trinket dish on a hallway console table or bedside display.

Clean Old Sheffield Plate using a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a gentle silver polish formulated for historic metals. Avoid submerging the item in water, as moisture can damage the internal wooden base and velvet felt padding beneath.
