Silver Wine Antiques

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.
