FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating created by fusing a layer of sterling silver to a copper base, predominantly produced from the mid-18th century until the mid-19th century before electroplating was invented.

Clean the surface gently using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the thin silver layer and expose the underlying copper.

These pieces can be displayed upright on plate stands within a dining room cabinet or utilised as reflective centrepiece chargers for formal table settings.

Authentic pieces often reveal a subtle copper bleed line along the cut edges or seams where the base metal shows through, and they typically predate official makers marks associated with later electroplated wares.

These items are constructed by thermally fusing a thin sheet of sterling silver onto a heavier copper ingot, often featuring applied silver wire borders and hand-engraved armorial crests.
