Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, originated in 18th-century Britain following the introduction of clear glass decanters. They were designed to hang around the neck of glass vessels to identify contents such as wines, spirits, and sauces that lacked commercial paper labels.

Georgian bottle tickets were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, or porcelain, with higher-end examples produced in gold or enamel. They featured hand-engraved or pierced lettering suspended by fine silver link chains.

Authentic Georgian examples feature British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a duty mark, date letter, and makers initials. Hand-engraved lettering and period-appropriate chain attachment loops also indicate period origin.

Antique silver labels can be displayed around crystal decanters arranged on a bar cart, drinks tray, or sideboard. They are also frequently mounted in shadow box frames as framed collections of historical silversmithing.

Clean silver labels gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialist silver polishing cream, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip natural oxidisation from engraved lettering. Store in anti-tarnish cloth bags when not on display.
