A beautiful set of four antique silver-plated bottle coasters, with a simple and timeless design. Their wide rounded border, crafted like a substantial band, recalls the silversmith's pieces that once accompanied decanters, wine bottles, and flasks on French tables. The underside bears several hallmarks attesting to their silver-plated manufacture. Their style and craftsmanship place them around the mid-20th century, circa . These four pieces have seen a lot of use and openly bear their history. The silver plating is heavily patinated and worn in places, revealing the underlying metal, with scratches and old marks of use. This condition is fully visible in the photographs and today contributes to their character as table objects that have spanned the decades. An authentic set, unpretentious but full of charm, for those who appreciate old objects in their authentic, well-used state. Diameter approximately 14.5 cm. France, circa .
