FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is a composite material made by fusing a layer of sterling silver to a base of copper, predominantly manufactured in Sheffield, England, from the mid-18th century until the introduction of electroplating in the 1840s.

Pieces were crafted by fusing silver and copper ingots under heat and pressure, then rolling them into sheets. Components were hand-beaten, soldered, and often finished with applied silver wire borders and cast sculptural elements.

Authenticity is often indicated by tiny lines of exposed copper along edges and seams where the base metal shows through wear, as well as the absence of standard electroplate manufacturer marks, frequently featuring makers hallmarks instead.

Antique silver tableware can be displayed on sideboards or open shelving to introduce metallic contrast and historical texture, pairing effectively with both minimalist contemporary surfaces and rich traditional spaces.

Clean gently with a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to avoid wearing through the thin silver layer to the underlying copper, and store in a low-humidity environment.
