Beautiful pair of Silver Plated Wine Bottle Coasters by Elkington & Co. of Sheffield. The Coasters have a criss-cross open basket style surround with a central vacant boss (unengraved) in the turned walnut base. The rim has detailed bunches of grapes and vine leaves.

Elkington & Co. are one of the most important names in English Silver and certainly the most important in Silver Plate. George and Henry Elkington were awarded the first patents for electroplating in 1840 and they founded the electroplating industry in Birmingham which spread around the world. They exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 at the Crystal Palace with enormous success.

The Coasters bear the early Elkington marks of E & Co., crowned and in a shield and on one the date letter N for 1852 and on the other the date letter P for 1854 as shown.
