FAQs

Old Sheffield plate is an early form of silver plating created by fusing a layer of silver to a copper base, predominantly produced from the mid-18th century until the introduction of electroplating in the 1840s.

These items are constructed by melting a thin sheet of sterling silver onto a thicker ingot of copper, then rolling them together under heat, often featuring hand-applied silver wire borders and cast silver mounts.

Authentic pieces often reveal a faint line of yellowish copper along exposed edges or wear points where the silver layer has thinned, and they typically predate official silver makers marks, occasionally bearing makers initials or device punches.

An antique tureen can be utilised as a sophisticated centrepiece on a dining table, filled with seasonal botanicals, or displayed on a sideboard to add metallic contrast to contemporary decor.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with specialised silver polish and a soft cloth to avoid wearing through the thin silver layer to the underlying copper, storing the item in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment.
