FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, decanter labelsalso known as wine tickets or bottle tagswere designed to identify spirits and wines stored in clear glass decanters. Georgian examples often feature detailed hand-engraving, repousse borders, and cast chain suspensions crafted by registered silversmiths.

Traditional decanter labels were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver, silver-gilt, or Sheffield plate. Artisans employed hand-stamping, chasing, repousse work, and fine engraving to create decorative borders featuring motifs like grapevine tendrils, acanthus leaves, and shell patterns.

Authenticity is verified through official British hallmark stamps, which typically include the makers mark, sovereigns head duty mark, leopards head for London, lion passant for sterling quality, and a date letter. Georgian labels also display characteristic weight, period-appropriate typography, and visible hand-finishing.

Antique decanter labels add historical detail to modern home bars, dining room sideboards, or drinks carts when hung around crystal glass decanters. They can also be displayed mounted inside shadow boxes as decorative wall art within dining spaces.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialised silver polish formulated to avoid stripping deep oxidation from recessed carved areas. Avoid harsh chemical dips or abrasive brushes that could damage delicate chain links, engraving detail, or hallmark stamps.
