FAQs

Silver plating became widespread during the 19th century, particularly following the invention of electroplating by firms like Elkington & Co in Birmingham, which allowed affordable domestic items to replicate the luxurious appearance of solid sterling silver.

These pieces are typically constructed from a base metal core, such as copper, nickel silver, or britannia metal, which is then coated in a thin layer of pure silver using electroplating techniques and often finished with hand-chased borders.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by examining maker marks, manufacturer ciphers, and date letters stamped onto the underside or rim of the metalwork, alongside characteristic signs of age such as gentle wear to the plating.

A large metallic tray works effectively as a reflective surface on a coffee table or sideboard to group smaller decorative objects, glassware, or candles, adding a layer of metallic texture to contemporary schemes.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft cloth and occasional cleaning with specialised non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the delicate plated surface.
