ABOUT PRODUCTID 34905
This wine coaster from the Fraget manufactory in Warsaw, dating to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is an expressive example of refined Polish table metalwork. The circular form is supported by three spherical, silver-plated feet and finished with an undulating, scalloped rim richly adorned with high-relief repoussé motifs of grape clusters, vine leaves, and tendrils. The interior features a contrasting, warm rosewood insert, its natural grain visible and finished in a soft semi-gloss. The ornamental reliefs and flowing organic lines reflect the influence of late 19th-century historicism, naturalism, and Rococo revival, giving the piece both decorative depth and sculptural character. The base is signed "Fraget w Warszawie" in an oval cartouche. Condition is very good: the original silver plating retains its elegant sheen, the wood displays a natural patina, and only minimal signs of use are visible, in line with the age of the object.This piece echoes the spirit of the belle époque: the elegance of the table meets the organic charm of botanical motifs, as though vines are climbing the silvery rim to recount tales of bygone gatherings and culinary ritual. The rosewood insert adds warmth and contrast—balancing the coolness of the metal with the richness of the wood, evoking the atmosphere of luxurious turn-of-the-century salons. Its form and detailing clearly reference the artisanal tradition of Warsaw's celebrated workshops.The coaster could be displayed on a classic dining table or sideboard, paired with crystal stemware, porcelain, or silver cutlery. It would suit historicist or eclectic collector interiors, where its sculptural ornamentation becomes a focal point. Alternatively, it could be combined with modern glassware or a minimalist tablecloth to highlight the contrast of eras—the object remains a functional accent for serving wine or elegant hors d'oeuvres.
