A Pair of Georgian Mahogany Wine Decanter Coasters or Slides
A fine pair of Georgian mahogany wine coasters or bottle sliders.
They were used for placing decanters in on the dining room table to prevent drops of wine landing on thje table and would be slid down the table for people to help themselves. They also prevented the glass decanters from knocking against each other.
This is a particular nice pair with wavy rims and brass inlay.
Dating from around 1780/90.
 
The coasters are each large enough to take a magnum decanter with a maximum diameter of 18.1 cm, and with internal diameters of  16.5 cm.   Height is 1.8cm.

    ANTIQUE TREEN
    ​

    ​The word Treen is derived from the word tree and is a term used to describe wooden household objects, all turned from one piece of wood e.g. a bowl, plate, gingerbread mould, and spoons, always having a function.

    ​

    Nowadays when we talk about Antique Treen it tends to cover all small wooden items including antique snuff boxes, candle stands, spice towers, etc. often made from several pieces of turned wood.

     

    When a piece of wood has been painstakingly turned or carved, handled, polished and loved over a few hundred years old, it can develop a wonderful colour and patina and becomes an irresistible piece of Antique Treen.
