FAQs

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, emerged in England during the mid-18th century to identify wines and spirits stored in glass decanters before labels were printed on bottles.

Old Sheffield Plate is created by fusing a thin layer of sterling silver to a thicker copper base under high heat, often finished with applied wire borders and hand-engraved text.

Authentic pieces often reveal a subtle flash of copper along the cut edges where the silver layer has worn away through age and polishing, distinguishing them from electroplated wares.

These small items can be displayed on a bar cart, mounted in a small frame, or styled alongside vintage glassware on a sideboard to add historical detail to a room.

Clean the surface gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a mild silver polish specifically formulated for plated items, avoiding excessive rubbing to protect the underlying copper base.
