FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate refers to silver fused onto a copper core, a technique developed in the 18th century prior to electroplating. Extending or telescopic candlesticks incorporate an adjustable mechanism within the column that allows the height of the sconce to be altered for dining tables or desks.

Regency period candlesticks were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, Old Sheffield plate, or cast brass. Old Sheffield plate items used sheets of silver-copper alloy fused under heat, often weighted inside the base with pitch or lead for physical stability.

Authentic Old Sheffield Plate often exhibits copper exposure where the silver layer has worn thin over time, particularly along raised decorative edges. Items from circa 1820 typically incorporate turned edges or applied silver wire borders designed to conceal the underlying copper core.

A set of candlesticks can be arranged along the centre of a formal dining table, positioned symmetrically on a sideboard, or placed on a fireplace mantelpiece to provide structured height and reflective metallic accents.

Clean Old Sheffield Plate using a soft cotton cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips or stiff brushes that strip the thin fused silver layer. Remove residual wax with warm water rather than metal implements to prevent scratching.
