This Georgian solid silver decanter label dates from the William IV period in 1834. The piece takes a decorative form with a polished silver finish, suspended from an original linked chain. Relief work across the surface depicts a central engraved banner bearing the word sherry, flanked by two cherubs, abundant clusters of grapes and vine leaves, and a central Bacchic mask. The design incorporates intricate repousse ornamentation and detailed border work. Measuring 3 cm high, 6 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this item functions as a tabletop accessory designed to hang around the neck of a decanter or bottle. It is typically displayed in a dining room on a sideboard top, drinks trolley, or bar area, adding a traditional decorative accent to glassware collections during dinner parties and social gatherings.

FAQs

Also known as a bottle ticket, a decanter label is a small plaque suspended from a chain, originally introduced in the eighteenth century to identify wines and spirits contained in opaque or clear glass decanters.

Traditional decanter labels were crafted primarily from sterling silver, silver plate, enamel, mother-of-pearl, or bone, often featuring cast, pierced, or chased ornamentation.

Authentic William IV pieces dating from 1830 to 1837 display official British hallmark stamps, including the monarchs head duty mark, makers mark, date letter, and sterling lion passant.

Decanter labels are typically draped over the necks of crystal liquor decanters on a sideboard or bar cart, or mounted together in shadow boxes for wall display.

Gently clean the surface with a specialist silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive pastes that could strip delicate hand-engraved details or historic tarnish.
