FAQs

Developed in the 18th century by Thomas Boulsover, Old Sheffield Plate is a process where a sheet of sterling silver is fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets for silversmithing.

Georgian tankards were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, Old Sheffield Plate silver-fused copper, or pewter, often featuring cast scroll handles and moulded bases.

Authentic pieces often exhibit copper showing through areas of high wear, faint seam lines from construction, stamped maker marks, and a distinct lustre compared to electroplated items.

An antique tankard can be repurposed as a decorative container on an executive desk, styled as a vessel on a mantelpiece, or displayed inside a glass bar cabinet.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding vigorous rubbing over exposed copper edges where the fused silver layer is thin.
