Thomas Hyde, London c1784
Photo 1 of 6
A rare George III silver Wine Label of unusual plain escutcheon shape with insignificant engraved lines to simulate drapes, pierced for Moselle.
By Thomas Hyde, London, c1784-94
This design peculiar to the Hydes and dating c1784 – 94 is surprisingly 'crude' and out of period. See wine Labels 1730 - 2003 by John Salter, figs 534 and 537 and text pages 153 and 154.
Provenance: The Andrew Gilmour Collection, sold by Bonhams 2/10/13. Lot 233 (part).
