A stunning antique circa early 1900s heavy silver plated wine bottle coaster with scarab detailing, from Murray’s Roman Gardens in New York City! Murray’s Roman Gardens opened in 1908 as one of New York’s 1st “lobster palaces“ on time square, noon for decadent cuisine and serving liquor all night. Sadly it did not survive prohibition and closed in the early 1920s. the decor was described as “decadent Roman-Pompeian-Egyptian-Babylonian grandeur.”

In excellent condition, no dents or damage, just the usual small signs of use you would expect from old restaurant silver that was used daily. Very minor tarnish, it will polish up nicely if desired! Made by international silver and marked on the base “Murray’s.” There is a faded "M" (Murray's logo) on the front center as well. Measures approximately 7 inches wide from handle to handle.
