The Label is exceptionally modelled and engraved, in heraldic terms, as a Lion Passant. The lion stands on a drapery banner below engraved with the title of MADEIRA. This piece is in exceptional condition and another example from this set, engraved for BEER, is shown in "Wine Labels 1730-2003 - A worldwide History" page 95. Without any doubt, it is one of the finest Armorial labels we have offered over the years. Another label from this set, engraved for BEER, was sold by Mary Cooke Antiques in 2025.
