Pair of cut glass decanters and wooden coasters
Circa 1820
An extremely rare pair of shield shaped or crescent shaped mahogany coasters. Each of the two coasters have a pierced hand grip and inlaid with CLARET and PORT respectively. Each coaster features a pocket designed to insulate the decanter from the heat, as well as accommodate a cloth for the butler or sommelier to use when pouring.
The pair of decanters have a Dukes coronet beautifully engraved with the monogram FS below the coronet. We have found four Dukes with family names beginning with S of the period 1820 - 1840
Seymour - Somerset
Somerset - Beaufort
Spencer - Marlborough
Sackville -Dorset.
The cutting on the decanter is known as strawberry cut which you find on the very best quality glass.
Total height 29cm. Width 27cm. Depth 23cm
