Literature. Wine Labels, also known as “bottle tickets”, appear to have originated in the second quarter of the 18th century. They were made in many attractive designs and are a popular collecting field. Generally, the label is suspended around the neck of the bottle by a chain, although some are formed as plain collars which slip over the neck, or formed as a plain rectangle hinged from a wire ring. Among the many good makers are Hester Bateman and family, Phipps & Robinson, Samuel Bradley, Mary Binley and Paul Storr.

This nice little silver label is in very good condition.

Maker: Margaret Binley

Margaret Binley, London silversmith and specialist label maker. No record of apprenticeship or freedom. Presumably widow of Richard Binley. Only mark entered as smallworker 1760.
