Margaret Binley

Margaret Binley or Bingley (née Stallwood) was an 18th-century English silversmith.

A specialist in the creation of wine labels,^[1][2] Binley is usually classified as a smallworker, although she is also listed as a bucklemaker, buttonmaker, and goldsmith. Resident in London, she registered her date mark on 15 May 1764, and continued active until the middle of the following decade.

In 1744 at London's All Hallows-on-the-Wall church, she married smallworker Richard Binley,^[3] from whom she was later widowed, and lived in Gutter Lane.^[4] No record of apprenticeship or freedom has been found.^[5]

Examples of Binley's work continue to turn up for sale.^[6][5][1][2] A Hermitage wine label, dated to around 1775, is owned by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., in the United States.^[4]
