This 18th century Georgian coffee pot takes an Old Sheffield plated form in silver, copper, and wood. The piece displays a polished silver finish with warm timber tones on the handle and subtle warm highlights along the raised edges. A classical urn shape forms the body, complemented by a domed lid with a pineapple finial, an ornate relief-cast spout, a turned wooden loop handle, beaded borders, and engraved swag motifs. A visible internal seam runs through the construction, while the plating exhibits slight copper bleed on the high relief edges alongside minor signs of age. Measuring 32 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 9 cm deep, the item weighs approximately 856g. Positioned upon a sideboard top, this coffee pot serves as a functional serving vessel or a decorative display piece within a dining room or living space.

FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is a metalworking process discovered in the mid-18th century where a thick layer of sterling silver was thermally fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets and worked into hollowware.

Coffee pots from this period were predominantly constructed from sterling silver or fused silver plate on copper, featuring carved hardwood or ebony handles to protect the user from heat conduction.

Authentic pieces usually display folded rims to disguise the copper layer, die-struck makers marks, visible solder seams along spouts and handles, and natural copper exposure where the silver coating has worn over centuries.

Position the piece atop a dark wood sideboard, marble console, or structured tray alongside contrasting textures like contemporary glassware or natural botanical arrangements to highlight the reflective metal.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals or submerged washing that could degrade the silver layer or harm the wooden handle.
