FAQs

Victorian spirit decanters and frames became popular in the mid-19th century as a stylish way to store and display alcoholic beverages in middle and upper-class homes, often kept in dining rooms or studies.

These pieces typically feature hand-blown glass coloured with mineral oxides, decorated with hand-applied gold leaf or enamelling, and housed in electroplated nickel silver or silver-plated frames.

Clean the glass gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh abrasives, and polish the silver frame sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the plating.

An antique decanter set works effectively as a focal point on a bar cart, sideboard, or drinks cabinet, pairing well with both traditional dark wood furniture and minimalist modern surfaces.

Authentic pieces often show hand-cut pontil marks on the base of the glass, wear consistent with age on the silver plating, and traditional manufacturing imperfections such as tiny air bubbles trapped within the blown glass.
