Fire insurance plaques are embossed metal signs, which were placed on the front of houses indicating they were insured against fire. This plaque was issued by the Licensed Victuallers Insurance Company, which was founded in 1836. The Association was a fire insurance company and joined Liverpool and London in 1857. This plaque, in black, gold and red, shows a bunch of grapes with “LICENSED VICTUALLERS” around above on a garter.
