Rare Georgian Old Sheffield Plate Coffee Pot

18th century
Description

A rare and fine example of an eighteenth-century old Sheffield plate coffee pot. The design of the piece is pure Rococo with wonderful embossed flowers to the body encircling a superb engraved family crest with motto in Greek. The base and lid have a fine gadrooned border and the finial top is beautifully cast as is the spout. The original handle has an elegant curve and is made of carved walnut with a great colour and patina. There are some old Sheffield plate marks to the neck of the pot which are registered in the Bradbury Book of Hallmarks. The coffee pot is in excellent condition with as would be expected some bleeding of the base metal through the silver in raised areas. This is an exceptionally fine and early example of old Sheffield silver plate and a rare survival. C.1760

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is a metalworking process invented in 1742 by Thomas Boulsover, in which layer sheets of silver and copper are fused together through heating and rolling before being formed into decorative tableware.

Georgian coffee pots were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or fused silver plate on copper, incorporating carved hardwood or ebony handles to insulate against heat.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate often exhibits faint copper exposure along worn edges or seams, turned-over silver edges on the underside, and distinct 18th-century maker marks.

An antique silver coffee pot can be styled as a focal accent on a sideboard, arranged within a glass display cabinet, or placed on a dining room server alongside historic ceramics.

Old Sheffield Plate should be cleaned gently using mild soapy water or specialised non-abrasive silver foam, avoiding harsh polishes that can wear away the thin silver layer.
