FAQs

Wine labels, or bottle tickets, emerged in England during the mid-18th century to identify decanted wines on the dining table before paper labels were common, evolving into highly ornate pieces of miniature silver smithing by the Georgian era.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hand-engraved lettering, cast decorative borders, and sometimes a layer of gold plating known as silver gilt or vermeil.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining hallmarks struck into the metal, which include the makers mark, assay office mark, standard mark for sterling silver, and a date letter corresponding to the active period of the silversmith.

These small pieces can be mounted in shallow shadow boxes, displayed on bar carts inside small dishes, or incorporated into a curated tablescape within a cabinet of curiosities.

Silver gilt objects should be cleaned infrequently using a very soft cloth without harsh chemical dips or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the delicate gold layer, and stored in tarnish-preventing fabrics.
