Georgian Silver Wine Coasters by Hester Bateman

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

Rococo Silver Candlesticks by Alexander Johnson
By Alexander Johnston
Located in New Orleans, LA
An outstanding pair of sterling silver candlesticks by English silversmith Alexander Johnston. Reflecting the mid-18th century Georgian taste for the Rococo style, these candlesticks feature deeply chased decoration, from shells and palms to acanthus and rosettes, as well as an engraved armorial on each pedestal. Their exuberant yet balanced design is characteristic of the sophisticated style brought to England by French Huguenot silversmiths in the 1700s. Alexander Johnston first entered his mark in 1747 and work such as his, as well as that of artists like the celebrated Paul de Lamerie, indicated the adoption of French forms in all of the decorative arts, from furniture to textiles, hailing the dramatic shift from the more restrained classical manner. Excellent condition. Hallmarked London, 1751 10 ¾” high Reference: English goldsmiths and their marks, 2nd ed., 1921, Sir Charles James Jackson.
