A superb late 19th-century silver-plated and gilded Champagne bottle coaster dating to c.1880.
The upper rim is beautifully cast and decorated with vine leaves, bunches of grapes and scrolling tendrils, the lower section fully gilded and pierced. The underside retains its original velvet covering.
The generous proportions suggest it was designed to accommodate a Champagne bottle, protecting polished dining tables whilst providing an elegant presentation at the Victorian dinner table. The vine leaf and grape decoration is particularly appropriate, symbolising the wine it was intended to accompany and reflecting the Victorian taste for richly ornamented tableware inspired by nature.
