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]
