FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating produced by fusing a layer of silver onto a copper core, typically manufactured from the mid-18th century until the mid-19th century before electroplating was introduced.

These pieces were constructed by fusing sterling silver sheets to a heavier copper base using heat and pressure, often featuring hand-beaten bodies, soldered joints, and cast silver mounts or handles.

Authentic pieces often reveal a faint line of yellowish copper where the fused edges meet or wear through, and they typically feature maker marks or date from an era before official silver hallmarks applied to plated wares.

These metallic vessels add historic contrast and textural shine when displayed as tabletop centrepieces, styled on open shelving, or used to hold dried florals in contemporary spaces.

Preserve the finish by cleaning only with non-abrasive silver polishes designed for plated items, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the thin silver layer and expose the copper underneath.
