This circular charger belongs to the Victorian Neo-Classical style, dating from 1870. The piece is formed from silver plate over electrotype metal on copper, presenting a reflective silver finish with minor copper showing on some raised parts. The detailed decoration includes a high relief metalwork scene of classical figures with a partially clothed Pompeiian lady and three attendants framed by classic columns with garlands and vases of flowers. An ornate scrolled anthemion border spans the outer rim, complemented by a mascaron detailing at the top. The surface displays an engraved signature to the front left of the artist, along with the signature of Elkington to the front right. Measuring 51.5 cm in diameter, the charger sits flat upon surfaces. In a contemporary home, this plaque functions as a decorative display piece positioned on a sideboard top, mounted on a wall, or showcased within a dining room collection. The heavy repoussé detailing creates tactile depth that catches natural light, while the traditional motifs complement formal interior settings. The solid metal construction allows for straightforward placement on horizontal furniture tops without requiring specialized mounting brackets, whilst the classic iconography provides a conversation piece for studies or formal living spaces.

FAQs

Electrotyping is a 19th-century process that uses electrodeposition to reproduce relief works of art, producing metal copies of original sculptured plates, medallions, or classical reliefs.

A mould was created from an original relief artwork, coated in conductive material, and placed in an electrolytic bath where base metal deposited onto it before receiving a silver-plated finish.

Authentic pieces from the era feature crisp relief detail alongside maker marks, departmental registry stamps, or specific manufacturer hallmarks on the reverse.

Display the charger on a plate stand atop a sideboard, place it central on a mantelpiece, or mount it as a focal piece within a wall gallery.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and use a non-abrasive silver polish sparingly to prevent wearing away the silver plating layer.
