Wine lovers find it hard to resist
one-of-a-kind silver wine antiques. These antiques make
great Christmas, wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation or "no
reason just because"
GIFTS even when
you
are the recipient.
First, they are beautiful to look at and
feel. These objects have the heft and patina of well loved
tools. (And modern silver polishes mean once or twice a
year, max.) We've been collecting them for 15 years.
Second, they are fully functional for the
same reasons they were originally conceived. Our
Funnels
filter out sediments and enable gentle aeration while
decanting older wine/port. (The funnel bowls are also useful
as tea strainers.) A taste-vin (a.k.a. as a
Taster),
designed to enhance the clarity of whites and deepen the
hues of reds, is an elegant way to sample your wine.
Our
Corkscrews not
only open bottles but many fold and fit nicely in your
pocket.
Wine coasters and
Funnel Stands protect table surfaces and provide a
graceful touch.
And third, there's something special about
owning a bit of history especially when you can trace its
heritage back through its
hallmarks
to its country, creation date, maker and in some cases,
owner. The
silver content is
guaranteed by its silver standard hallmark. Our prices are determined by hallmarks, age,
sterling content, weight and condition.
Be sure to check out
Monograms which
also include inscriptions, crests, mottos, dates, etc.
Or buy one and pass it off as a family heirloom.
You can also easily
personalize your purchase with your own monogram, date,
inscription, etc., at your local jeweler. We also have an
easy-on-the-pocket
category which has a very good selection of well priced
items.
If nothing here strikes your fancy, please
contact
us as we have many additional items. If upon receiving your wine antiques you
don't enjoy them as much as we've promised, we'll gladly
welcome them back to our family.
We
want it to be easy for you to do business with us.
