Antique Decanters - Georgian
In this category, you will find a wide ranging selection of decanters which pre-date 1830. All decanters we sell are in good clear condition, and free from cracks and chips (unless otherwise stated). The heights of decanters are given without the stoppers, except where otherwise stated.
Stoppers for decanters are a perennial problem - but not one to worry about in the general course of events. For the most part, it is impossible to say for certain if a stopper was fitted to a decanter originally if the decanter dates from before about 1820, and often later. This is because in the 18th and early 19th centuries, a decanter in a gentleman's dining room may have been one of a pair, a set of 4,6, or 12, and stoppers were not necessarily kept with their decanters by the servants; they could easily be mixed up. More cogently, they were not numbered. If a decanter of this period has an appropriate stopper, and preferably one made at the same date, it is considered to be perfectly acceptable if it fits the decanter.
Sometimes we find decanters which we want to have in our stock, but either without a stopper or one that is obviously incorrect. If we do not have an old one, we have one made - and say so in our descriptions. Generally, even if we have had a stopper made, it is difficult to tell it is not old from a passing inspection, but we still make clear the work we have had done.
By contrast, Victorian decanters are often numbered as are their stoppers. As a result it is usually easy to tell if a stopper is original to its decanter.
