FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating created by fusing a thin sheet of silver to a thicker copper base, predominantly produced from the mid-18th century until the mid-19th century before electroplating was invented.

These pieces were constructed using a fused composite of sterling silver and copper, often hand-hammered or soldered together, frequently featuring applied wire borders and cast handles.

Authentic items often reveal a thin line of copper showing through where the silver layer has worn down at high friction points, along with distinctive soldered seams and absence of nineteenth-century electroplate marks.

Such metallic vessels can be utilised on a mantelpiece or bookshelf as a sculptural container for dried botanicals, or integrated into a bar cart arrangement to add historical texture.

Maintenance requires gentle cleaning with non-abrasive silver cream and a soft cloth to protect the delicate silver veneer from wearing through to the underlying copper.
