Notes
Silver wine coasters like this pair became a fixture of the Georgian dining table from the mid eighteenth century, designed to let a bottle or decanter travel smoothly from guest to guest without scratching or marking the polished wood beneath, and to protect the surface from any drips or dampness left on the bottle.
