Georgian Sterling Silver Wine Funnel London Silversmith 'Solomon Hougham' 1812.

18th century
Description

A gorgeous silver wine funnel, or strainer, made in Georgian England, bearing the hallmark 'SH'. This is the mark for Georgian Silversmith 'Solomon Hougham' a master silversmith working in London during the Georgian period. Traditional in shape, with its original side-clip still, an elegant piece of silverware in good antique condition, still ready for use today. This practical utensil, which is used to filter wine before it was consumed, before transferring it from the bottle to a decanter. The slight curve at the end of the spout causes the wine to flow slowly down the side of the bottle, thus improving aeration. I highly recommend this Georgian Wine Funnel, for all lovers of wine, whether an occasional wine buff, or serious collector.

The funnel is in good condition for age, but has a couple of small bruises to the silver.

This Georgian sterling silver wine funnel, made by London silversmith Solomon Hougham in 1812, is a traditional barware utensil. The piece is fashioned from polished silver with a reflective metallic finish, featuring a reeded rim, a curved spout, a side clip, and stamped London hallmarks on the bowl. Visible signs of age include a couple of small bruises to the metal. The funnel measures 17 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. It is designed to filter wine before it is consumed, transferring it from the bottle to a decanter, with the curved spout helping the liquid flow down the side to improve aeration. Today, this practical item sits on a sideboard top and is ready for use by wine enthusiasts or collectors.

FAQs

Georgian silver wine funnels were crafted during the 18th and early 19th centuries to filter sediment out of aged wines and port during the decanting process into glass carafes.

They were typically constructed in two separate pieces, including a bowl fitted with a perforated strainer disk and a curved lower spout designed to direct liquid against the inner wall of a decanter.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped on the body or spout rim, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling silver, and a date letter.

An antique funnel can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, wine room counter, or drinks tray alongside glass decanters to add historical narrative to modern entertaining spaces.

Wash the item gently in warm water with mild detergent after use, dry completely with a soft cloth, and clean periodically with specialist silver polish to control oxidisation.
