Paul Devaux – Pair Of Solid Silver Bottle Coasters, Engraved, Ribbon-crossed Border

An elegant pair of solid silver bottle coasters of circular form, each raised on a subtle foot and centred with a recessed well designed to accommodate the base of a decanter or bottle.

The border is finely engraved with parallel reeding interspersed with crossed ribbon motifs, a characteristic element of the neoclassical ornamental vocabulary inspired by the reign of LOUIS XVI. The decoration is executed with great precision, lending structure to the rim while preserving an overall sense of restraint and balance.

Each piece is engraved with a delicately rendered monogram in script letters, adding a refined and personal touch without disturbing the harmony of the design.

The surfaces display a uniform bright polish, highlighting the quality of the silver and the crispness of the workmanship.
