How do I use a decanter coaster?

Place the coaster directly beneath your wine bottle or decanter on the dining table. It catches condensation and minor drips while allowing the vessel to slide smoothly across the surface. When passing wine around the table, push the coaster rather than lifting it to prevent spills and protect the polished wood.

What is Old Sheffield Plate?

Old Sheffield Plate is a fused bilayer material made by heating a sheet of silver and a block of copper until they bonded. The combined ingot was then rolled into thin sheets for silversmiths to shape. This method predates electroplating and often displays subtle copper wear along high-friction edges, confirming its age.

Can I use these for modern wine bottles?

Most standard wine bottles and many contemporary decanters fit comfortably within the internal diameter of these historic coasters. Measure the base of your preferred bottles against the inner rim dimensions before use. Heavier glass vessels sit securely on the turned wood inserts designed specifically to support them.

How do I care for silver coasters?

Clean the metal surfaces gently using a specialised silver cloth or mild polish to remove tarnish without damaging engraved details or thin plating. Avoid getting moisture on the turned wood bases. Store them in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing and protect the wooden components from humidity changes.
