FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to a process invented in the 18th century where a thin layer of silver was fused onto a thicker copper ingot before being rolled into sheets and worked into tableware.

These items typically consist of a fused copper and silver exterior, featuring a hollow base compartment that was filled with hot water to keep food warm during multi-course meals.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate pieces often exhibit a soft lustre, visible copper bleeding where silver has worn away on high points, and applied solid silver wire edges designed to conceal copper seams.

These metalwork pieces can be placed as a central accent on a dining table, styled as a catchall on a sideboard, or displayed open to highlight the interior craftwork.

Wash gently in warm soapy water without submerging hollow water chambers completely, and polish occasionally using a specialised silver cream and a soft cotton cloth to preserve the silver layer.
