An Extremely Rare Georgian Silver Bronte Label

An attractive and very rare silver Bronte wine label from the early 19th Century. This excellent example is of oval form with a hobnail pattern border. 'Bronte' is engraved to the centre in 'pricked' capitals. The label is supported on a belcher chain.

On some labels this is spelled BRONTI, and is the name of a town in the province of Catania near Mount Etna, famous for its wine. The town, together with its extensive estates which originally belonged to the monastery of Maniacum, was granted as a Dukedom to Nelson by Ferdinand IV of Naples in 1799. Hallmarked in 1826 this is a fine example making this a interesting and collectable piece. Dimensions below.
