late george iv mahogany circular wine coaster

Circa 1830, a late George IV mahogany circular wine coaster most likely by Mein of Kelso. The solid mahogany piece has a large circular flange top with ogee moulding. It has a simple moulding on the inside of the top. The underside of the coaster continues down to a large circular flange which is raised and inside of this there are a few classic features of this kind of piece: brass castors and leather wheels. The leather wheels were used to push along the dining table to prevent it from leaving any markings on a table or other surfaces. There is a burn mark in the centre where the piece has been laid. It’s an unusual piece of late Georgian furniture, and is very stylish.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
