Georgian Period Old Sheffield Plate Bottle Coaster c1800

A rarely found genuine Georgian period c1800 Old Sheffield Plate wine bottle coaster.
With a solid gallery solder filled silver gadrooned beading to the upper edge.

The turned wooden base, is mahogany.

A typically styled piece of the late Georgian period c1790 - 1820.

There has been replacement beize fitted to the base, although this is a Victorian replacement!

Presented in good - very good condition: See below for more details and definitions.

Unsure of exact age or indeed maker, annoying there are no makers marks from which to glean that information.

Not unusual for the period and this has been used to date the piece to c1800.

Diameter 15.2cm (6" )

Height 5.2cm (2" )

In arguably good - very good condition.

Bearing a couple of dings - see pictures.

While there is no major plate loss, there is a small patch of thinning near the top ding.

There are some pot-marks to the solder filled silver beading.

The varnish to the base has started to thin. this is considered commensurate with age related use and as such not too detrimental.

Bearing a minimal amount of the usually inherent scratches that one must reasonably expect on a used piece that has seen over 200 years of service.

A reasonable starting bid has been set, with no reserve.
Make no mistake, this wonderfully old piece will sell to the highest bidder.
Make sure its you!

All Silver plate and other metal pieces in my listings are of some age and generally have been used for the purpose for which they were made.
For clarity within my listings the grading definitions I use which best describe the external qualities of each piece are as follows:
(Internal condition will be listed on an individual basis)

Very Fine - Extremely good condition with no detrimental issues - rarely found on antiques outside of a museum!
Fine - Has signs of careful / respectful use with minimal surface scratches commensurate with age and such use.
Very Good - Has no dings of any real consequence, few scratches (no more than expected through normal usage), that are not unsightly.
Good - May have less than five minor dings and / or some scratching (more than normal usage) and / or minor pit marks, but not considered detrimental.
Fairly Good - May have numerous (+ five) minor dings and / or some plate thinning and other signs of prolonged use which includes deep scratches and patches of pit marks to the plating.
Reasonable - May have repairable / repaired dents or other issues and may / or will need replating, but is still of probable interest.
Anything considered less than reasonable will not be listed in my auctions!

I cannot guarantee the thickness of plating remaining. I strongly recommend that one uses a good quality silver cleaner sparingly. Once polished, the sheen can easily be maintained by simply washing in warm soapy water, and drying with a soft clean cloth immediately.

Any dating and period statements given are estimates only, depending on my experience with styles and information available within my vast documentation and other on-line sources.
I am only human and may sometimes, inadvertently get this wrong!
Where possible, exact dating will be confirmed by date markings or registered numbers where available.

All other curios and items of interest will be described individually and graded as I see them.
No Item I offer is deemed to be unfit for purpose, if it was, it would not be listed!
