How do I hang a decanter label?

Most pieces include an original silver chain that slips easily over the neck of the decanter or wine bottle. Position the label so the engraved title faces outward for clear reading on the sideboard. Ensure the chain rests comfortably below the lip of the bottle so the label hangs straight without slipping off during pouring.

What drinks are usually named on them?

Traditional titles include sherry, claret, madeira, port, brandy, rum, gin, and whiskey. These reflect the common spirits and fortified wines served in decanters during the Georgian and Victorian periods. Unmarked or unusual titles also appear, offering collectors examples that depart from the standard wine categories.

Can I clean silver decanter labels?

Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth helps maintain the polished appearance of sterling silver without harming the engraved lines. Avoid abrasive pastes that might wear away the crisp edges of the lettering. Store them in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing between uses on your dining table.
