FAQs

Clean them gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated for plated items, avoiding harsh abrasive dips that can strip away the thin layer of silver.

They can be used to anchor a tablescape on a dining table or placed on a mantelpiece to introduce metallic contrast and historical depth to contemporary design schemes.

Authentic pieces often reveal a subtle yellowish copper bleed along high-friction edges or seams where the thin silver layer has worn away, and they typically lack the strict hallmarks found on solid sterling silver.

These items are constructed by thermally fusing sterling silver onto a copper core, often featuring applied silver wire borders and weighted bases filled with pitch, resin, or wood for stability.

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