About the Item

Sterling Silver Wine Coasters Hester Bateman Hallmarked London, 1793 This exquisite pair of George III period sterling silver wine coasters is the work of the legendary Hester Bateman. Each design features a beautifully pierced border with floral motifs and delicate engraved details, epitomizing the elegance of the Neoclassical style for which Bateman was renowned. The coasters are complete with their original mahogany wooden inserts. Hester Bateman is one of the most celebrated silversmiths of the Georgian era, widely recognized as the "Queen of English Silversmiths." Her importance lies not only in her exceptional craftsmanship but also in her pioneering role as a female silversmith in a male-dominated field. Bateman took over her husband’s business after his death in 1760, building it into one of the most successful silver workshops in London. Known for her refined designs, delicate beading and intricate engraving, Bateman's work showcases an elegance and precision that has become synonymous with her name. Her mastery of the Neoclassical style and ability to balance beauty with functionality have left a lasting legacy, making her works highly sought after by collectors and institutions alike. Each: 1 1/2" high x 4 7/8" diameter
