Item: Wine Coasters (4) Description: Half fluted with gadroon mounts Hallmark: Sheffield 1827, made by John & Thomas Settle Dimensions: 5.9" (150mm) diameter; 1.8" (44mm) tall. Comments: Silver wine coasters in good condition are difficult to find, Georgian examples very difficult and pairs even harder. To find a set of four Georgian wine coasters in pristine condition is an almost impossible task, so we are pleased to be able to offer a fine set as these to fit the bill. They are in wonderful condition, with no signs of the usual repairs (soldered seams etc) and four crisp sets of hallmarks. The silver galleries are fitted to their original turned wooden bases (with old and slightly tired baize to the undersides to prevent scuffing to table tops) which highlight the silver discs to the centres. These discs all bear the same beautifully engraved crest. The concentric rings within the wood prevent vacuums forming on the undersides of bottles and thus avoid embarrassing spillages. The galleries are half fluted with gadroon rims in a design that was fashionable throughout the Regency period.
