FAQs

Introduced in the mid-18th century during the reign of King George II, decanter labelsoriginally called bottle ticketswere designed to identify the contents of glass decanters on the dining table, particularly as port, sherry, and Madeira grew in popularity.

Authentic period pieces were traditionally crafted from sterling silver, often produced via hand-piercing, stamping, or cast manufacturing methods, and completed with hand-engraved lettering and suspension chains.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the hallmarks for the lion passant, makers marks, and date letters, alongside observing the natural tarnish, hand-cut script style, and the absence of modern machine-stamping techniques.

These items can be displayed as part of a barware collection on a sideboard, hung around the neck of a vintage crystal decanter, or showcased in a glass display cabinet to add historical detail to a room.

Preserve silver labels by storing them in tarnish-resistant cloths or display cases, avoiding abrasive commercial dips, and cleaning them gently with a soft microfibre cloth and mild specialist silver polish only when necessary.
