An extremely rare pair of late Georgian lacquered papier-mache wine bottle coasters. The ogee sides are decorated in a floral design worked in gold. Over time, the design has softened to a golden-coppery luster. Papier-mache wine coasters from the period are extremely rare because they didn’t hold up well to liquid damage. The bottoms retail the original green felt covering. The interiors show the expected wear. One coaster has a 2” area of chipping along the top edge, and the other has a 4” area. Fortunately, the flakes have been reasonably well disguised and are not on the fronts of the coasters. They can be used on a sideboard without the chips showing. Origin: England, ca. 1815. Size: 5-5/8” diameter; 2” high. |
