Lot Description

A pair of Sheffield plate bottle coasters of circular form, the flared rim with applied foliate scroll and shell border, to a turned fruitwood base with inset central button. Each struck with double sun mark and attributed to Matthew Boulton, also struck with letter H? in between. Maximum diameter measuring 6 7/8 inches (17.5 cm).  

Postage: Postable

Both coasters appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying expected general surface wear, marks and scratches. Visible seam lines. Some tarnishing and the copper is showing through to some areas. Replacement baize to undersides, which is quite faded. The surface of the wood is also quite worn, especially on one of the coasters where the veneer appears to have peeled off in some areas and especially large sections to the underside. Sun marks are clear and legible.
