About This Piece
A refined large 19th-century French sterling silver (.950 standard) decanter label, crafted with restrained styling and engraved initials "AD" on the curved label. Designed to hold a handwritten identification card, the label slides neatly into place, allowing the contents of a decanter to be displayed with personalization and clarity.
These fine French labels from the early 1800s are rarely found. An excellent piece for the serious collector. Such labels were traditionally used in formal dining and service settings, adding both practicality and refinement to the table or bar.
Hallmarks & Provenance
Fully hallmarked with French silver marks for Paris, along with the Vieillard (Old Man) mark with numeral "1", denoting the highest French silver standard (.950 purity). This mark was in use from 1819 to 1838. The maker's punch is currently being researched.
