Vintage Silver-Plated Pierced Filigree Wine Bottle Coaster / Holder with Claw Feet
Unbranded (Likely British or American Silver Plate manufacturer such as Leonard, Sheridan, or Poole) · Kitchenware > Barware / Serveware
Era / Decade
Mid-20th Century (1950s-1970s) based on the intricate reticulated scrollwork and cast claw feet
Material
Silver-plated base metal (likely brass or copper), evidenced by the dark tarnish and potential copper showing through at the rim
Condition
Good. The item shows significant surface oxidation and tarnish. The structure appears sound with no broken filigree, though the plating may be thinning on high-rub areas.
Demand Level
Moderate. Barware remains popular, but silver plate is a slower mover than glass or brass unless polished and staged well.

Description
Exquisite vintage silver-plated wine bottle holder featuring a decorative pierced filigree scroll pattern and a solid base with a raised rim (gallery). The piece is elevated by ornate small feet, possibly ball-and-claw style. It measures approximately 4-5 inches in diameter, designed to hold a standard Bordeaux or Burgundy wine bottle. Perfect for adding a touch of Regency or Hollywood Regency style to a bar cart.
Key Features
Intricate pierced reticulated pattern, elevated claw feet, classic barware appeal, Hollywood Regency aesthetic, functional for protecting surfaces from wine drips.
Authenticity Indicators
Weight (should feel heavy if quality plate), lack of 'Sterling' mark suggests plated; design language is consistent with mid-century mass-market luxury silver plate. Confidence level: High (as a generic vintage piece).
Flaws to Note
Heavy tarnish and oxidation throughout; requires polishing. Some potential wear to the silver plating on the interior and top rim. Dust buildup in the filigree crevices.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (ideal for vintage home decor), eBay (best for silver collectors), or Facebook Marketplace (good for local gift-givers and bar cart enthusiasts).
Selling Tips
Polish this item with a high-quality silver cream like Hagerty or Wright's before photographing—bright silver sells for 50% more than tarnished pieces. Use keywords like 'Regency', 'Bar Cart Accessories', and 'Filigree' in your title. Mention if it fits a standard champagne bottle as well.
