The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a manufacturing process developed in the 18th century where a layer of sterling silver was fused onto copper before being wrought into hollowware, including chalices and goblets.

These vessels were crafted by fusing silver sheets onto copper ingots, which were subsequently hammered into shape and often finished with a gilded interior to protect against oxidisation from liquids.

Authentic pieces often exhibit minor copper bleed where the silver surface has worn thin over time, folded seam lines, and an absence of later 19th-century electroplating marks.

Place a silver drinking vessel on a dining sideboard, mantelpiece, or curated bookshelf to introduce metallic texture and historic character to contemporary room schemes.

Clean gently using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap, or apply a specialised non-abrasive silver polish without vigorous buffing to preserve the thin silver layer.
