FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is a composite material produced by fusing a layer of sterling silver onto a base of copper, a technique invented in the 18th century before electroplating became common.

These items are constructed primarily from a copper core fused with a thin sheet of sterling silver, often featuring applied silver wire borders and handles.

Authentic pieces often reveal a faint yellowish tint of copper along cut edges or worn high points where the silver layer has thinned over time, and they typically lack standard silversmith hallmarks.

Such pieces can be displayed on a sideboard or dining table as a sophisticated focal point, mixing historical metallic textures with modern minimalist interiors.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and a specialised silver cleaner designed for plated items, avoiding harsh abrasives that could wear through the thin silver layer to the copper beneath.
