Description
A William IV Irish silver armorial cut-out letter wine label,
Dublin circa 1835,
modelled as the letter 'B', with foliate decoration and mounted with a crest and viscount's coronet, height 5.3cm.
The coronet on this label is nearer that of a continental count than a British viscount. One may suggest it could have been intended for Hamilton, Viscount Belhaven, whose residence in Ireland was recorded by the Dublin Herald's Office.
