FAQs

Also known as bottle tickets, silver wine labels emerged in the eighteenth century to identify the contents of opaque glass bottles and decanters. They were produced in various styles across the Georgian and Victorian eras, frequently featuring engraved, die-struck, or pierced lettering alongside cast scrollwork.

Georgian decanter labels were typically die-struck, cast, or hand-chased from sterling silver, featuring incised or pierced lettering to denote fortified wines and spirits like Madeira, Port, or Sherry. They were fitted with a fine suspension chain designed to loop around the neck of a bottle or decanter.

Authentic Georgian examples display official British hallmark stamps, usually struck on the reverse or along the outer border, including a makers mark, lion passant, town mark, and date letter. Authentic pieces also show period-appropriate hand chasing and subtle wear around the chain attachment loops.

These silver accessories can be draped over clear glass decanters on a sideboard or bar cart, framed inside shadow boxes as wall art, or displayed on open shelving alongside historic glassware.

Wash gently in warm water with mild detergent to remove surface residue, drying thoroughly with a soft cloth. Apply a specialist silver polish sparingly to preserve the dark oxidisation in low-relief areas while highlighting raised details.
