Sold
Wine Label - Madeira; Cast Scallop; Gilt - London 1811 by J W Storey & W Elliott - 5cm x 5cm; 45g - KE/2422
This is a fabulous quality silver-gilt wine label in the form of a scallop shell.
The label is cast and was made by one of the best silversmithing partnerships of the period, Storey & Elliott. The label has a very satisfying hefty weight and hangs from a heavy gauge belcher chain. The scallop is a scarce form and one of the most pleasing on the eye. The condition is excellent throughout with the gilding intact.
