Sterling Silver Bottle Coaster - Art Deco - Vintage George VI

This exceptional vintage George VI sterling silver coaster has a plain cylindrical form to a spreading base.

The body of the coaster is embellished with exceptional engraved Art Deco decoration, reflecting stylised leaf designs emanating from columns, conjoined with a plain swag and spiralling ribbon design.

The upper portion of the body is encompassed with an applied moulded girdle, in addition to an applied moulded border to the upper rim accented with a geometric Art Deco style fan motif to either side.

This vintage silver bottle coaster is fitted with two handles, reflecting the iconic Art Deco fan designs to the upper rim.

This exceptional vintage sterling silver wine bottle coaster is a superior example of its type.

NOTE: The majority of such bottle coasters have a wooden base; it is a sign of quality when coasters have unlined, solid silver bases.

Maker: E. Silver & Co

This vintage silver bottle coaster is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
