Set of 6 Antique Silver-Plated Argentor Coasters, Vienna – Hallmarked, 9 cm

Six silver-plated coasters from Vienna, exactly the right size for glasses and small cups: one piece clearly bears the hallmark “ARGENTOR” and “AS”, attributing the set to the well-known Viennese maker Argentor-Werke Rust & Hetzel.

St. Pölten, the flea market. Six silver discs lay stacked like a little tower, and only when turned over did they reveal the name of a Viennese workshop that has long since closed. For decades they caught what would otherwise have left rings on the wood. Some things watch; others keep guard.
