Crate Label, Cupid Brand, California Grapes, Cherubs, NOS Uncirculated, Antique 1890s

Very few crate labels from the 1890s survive at all, let alone in uncirculated, never-used condition — which makes this 130-year-old Cupid Brand label a genuine rarity.

• Brand: Cupid Brand / California Grapes
• Produce: Grapes
• Origin: California, USA
• Materials: Paper, lithograph
• Era: Antique, circa 1890s

Cherubs with grapes — the most natural pairing in the history of Western art — rendered in the luminous full-color lithographic style of the 1890s. Cupid was a popular brand name for California grapes in the Victorian era, and labels like this one helped establish the state's fruit industry's early reputation for quality and romance.

Frame it for a dining room, a kitchen, a wine lover's space, or as Valentine's Day decor.

An 1890s label surviving in uncirculated, unused condition is extraordinarily rare — most labels from this early era simply didn't make it this far intact.

A wonderful gift for a vintage label collector, a wine enthusiast, or a Victorian-era art lover.
