Description
Seven Georgian Sterling Silver Wine and Sauce Labels, mid-18th to early 19th century, all London, including a shield-shaped "Claret" label, no date, by John Harvey I (fl. 1738-ca. 1760), a reeded kidney-shaped "Claret" label, 1807-1808, by Thomas James, a set of three reeded oblong fortified wine labels ("Madeira", "Sherry" and "Port"), 1820-1821, by Charles Rawlings, and a small assembled pair of reeded, canted rectangular sauce labels, "Lemon", 1822-1823, by Charles Rawlings, and "Anchovy", no date, by Phipps, Robertson & Phipps (fl. 1811-1816), the smallest 1/2" x 3/4", the largest 1-1/4" x 1-3/4", 1.70 total t. oz.
Condition
Overall Condition: Good. The Rawlings "Port" has a small planishing flaw at the lower edge, but otherwise all pieces are in nice shape with no dents, breaks or repairs noted and no condition issues beyond the expected patina of age. All pieces retaining their chains (the "Lemon" shortened with a 1" "tail"), though all may not be original. The Rawlings "Lemon" label fully hallmarked; the Rawlings set and the James example part-marked, lacking only the city mark. The Harvey and Phipps examples with maker's mark only, the Harvey struck twice. All marks are generally very good, with the exception of the latter two: one of the Harvey marks is lightly rubbed and the other overstruck, and the upper two-thirds of the Phipps is completely worn away.
