A decorative silver-plated wine coaster with an ornate vine and grape border, designed to cradle a favourite bottle at the table while protecting polished surfaces from drips and marks.
The detail is what draws the eye. Clusters of grapes, curling tendrils and richly modelled vine leaves circle the rim. The warm wooden base provides a natural contrast to the silver-plated surround.
Wine coasters became particularly popular in British dining rooms during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, remaining a staple of formal entertaining well into the twentieth century. Originally designed to allow decanters and bottles to glide easily across polished tables. With the added bonus of keeping any pesky red wine drops off of the table.
Diameter: 18cm
Height: 6cm
