Stunning & Large Dutch Hallmarked (.833) Fine Silver PAIR of Wine Coasters, High Pierced Gallery Walls , 5.75″ Circa 1900-1930

This magnificent pair of authentic Dutch silver wine coasters, measuring 5.75 inches in diameter, represents the exceptional quality of early 20th-century European silverwork. Each coaster features an intricately hand-pierced gallery wall showcasing a classic scrolling foliate design, a hallmark of the Dutch Rococo Revival style. The silver is securely mounted to a solid turned-wood base, offering a rich contrast to the brilliant metallic finish. These large-format pieces were specifically designed to accommodate standard wine bottles or formal crystal decanters, making them a functional centerpiece for any sophisticated tablescape.
The Dutch hallmarks are struck along the silver rim of one of the pair but are worn with age and use.  These marks indicate & signify the official .833 purity standard for fine Dutch silver. The presence of a Minerva head assay mark confirms the pieces were professionally tested and verified in a historic Dutch assay office. The maker’s mark, featuring an initial “R” points toward a specialized silversmithing firm such as Ruijter or Rietveld, both of whom were renowned for their mastery of pierced and repoussé silver during this period.
Preserved in very good condition, these coasters maintain the crispness of their reticulated details and the integrity of their original wooden bases. Their substantial size and refined ornamentation make them a rare find for collectors of continental silver or those looking to add a touch of authentic heritage to their dining collection. This pair serves as both a testament to Dutch artisanal history and a practical luxury for modern entertaining, bridging the gap between museum-quality decorative art and everyday elegance.
