Christofle Gallia Silverplate Pearl Beaded Wine Coaster France 26072610

Christofle Gallia Silverplate Coaster

Produced by Christofle under their Gallia line, this French silverplate coaster — known in French as a dessous de bouteille — carries the stamped marks "GALLIA FRANCE PROD. CHRISTOFLE" on its underside, confirming its manufacture and origin. Gallia was the commercial silverplate brand launched by Christofle in the early twentieth century to offer quality tableware at a more accessible price point than sterling. This Christofle Gallia silverplate coaster is a well-made example of classic French hotel and domestic tableware.

The coaster is circular with a shallow well designed to receive a wine or water bottle. The rim features a continuous beaded border — a traditional gadroon-adjacent motif widely used in French silversmithing — applied with consistent regularity around the full circumference. The surface shows a polished silverplate finish with visible use scratches across the well, consistent with honest age and regular service use. No dents, deformation or plate loss is observed. The beaded border retains good definition throughout.

The diameter measures 15.5cm (6.1"). The coaster sits flat with a slightly raised foot ring on the underside. Its compact form is suited for standard wine bottles.

French silverplate coasters from the Gallia by Christofle line are collected both for daily use and as display pieces. The maker's mark adds clear provenance for collectors of French silver and hotel silverware. A practical and well-documented piece from one of France's most recognised silversmiths.
