FAQs

Decanter labels, historically referred to as bottle tickets, emerged during the eighteenth century to identify the contents of opaque glass decanters and bottles. Crafted predominantly in precious metals, they hung from suspension chains and were engraved with the names of specific wines, fortified wines, or spirits.

Traditional wine labels were forged from sterling silver, silver gilt, or electroplate. Craftsmen utilised techniques such as die-stamping, hand-engraving, and repousse work to form ornate borders and lettering, securing the plaque with fine silver curb chains.

Authentic period labels typically feature official hallmark stamps indicating the maker mark, purity mark, assay office town mark, and date letter. Inspecting the hand-engraved lettering, backplate construction, and wear on the chain links also assists in determining age.

Decanter labels can be draped around crystal decanters displayed on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or bar cart to enhance a entertaining area. Alternatively, collectors display silver labels in velvet-lined shadow boxes as framed wall art.

Clean silver labels gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialist silver polish to remove surface tarnish without abrading engraved details or maker marks. Store pieces in anti-tarnish fabric pouches when not in use to prevent oxidisation.
