Description from the seller
Rare Danish Art Nouveau silver wine bottle coaster – C.P. Hansen, Copenhagen – grape border & mahogany – circa 1900–1920
A particularly refined and authentic wine bottle coaster from Denmark, crafted in solid silver by the Copenhagen silversmith C.P. Hansen, active in the early 20th century. This elegant table object is an excellent example of Scandinavian Art Nouveau silver in which functionality and decorative richness come together.
The wide silver gallery rim is beautifully crafted with a high-relief decoration of grape clusters and vines — the quintessential symbol of wine and abundance. The organic, flowing design fully aligns with the Jugendstil influences that were strongly present in Danish silverware around 1900.
The coaster clearly bears on its side the official Danish silver hallmark with the three towers (Tre Tårne, Copenhagen warrant) and the master mark CP of C.P. Hansen, which confirms its origin and the silver fineness (830).
The interior consists of a beautifully turned mahogany inlay with a circular silver disc at the center on which the bottle rests. At the bottom there is the original green protective felt. This combination of silver and wood is characteristic of high-quality Danish wine coasters from this period and was used to provide both protection and a warm, luxurious appearance.
A rare, collectible object that is both functional and a striking decorative piece of Scandinavian table silver.
