Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating produced by fusing a sheet of silver to a copper core using heat and pressure, a technique developed in the 18th century before electroplating was invented.

Antique epergnes typically combine a metallic base crafted from Old Sheffield Plate, sterling silver, or Britannia metal with hand-blown or cut lead crystal bowls and baskets.

Authentic pieces often reveal a faint reddish line of copper along exposed edges or wear points where the thin silver layer has worn away through polishing.

Placed as a dining table centrepiece, it can be styled simply with seasonal fruit, floating blooms, or left unadorned to showcase the reflective metal and crystal craftsmanship.

Clean with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the fragile silver layer of Old Sheffield Plate.
