Antique Georgian Regency Lacquered Papier Mache Magnum Wine Bottle Coasters (Code 1831)
Description
A pair of Georgian Regency period wine coasters in lacquered papier mache. These examples are magnum sized and so suitable for larger bottles of wine and decanters as well as standard sizes. They also have strengthening white metal bands around the foot rims which is a feature I haven't seen before. They feature a black ground and hand painted gilt designs of fruiting vines which is rather apt. They date around 1820 to the transition between George III and George IV.
