FAQs

A dish cross is an adjustable table support developed during the eighteenth century to elevate hot serving platters off delicate wooden surfaces. Featuring sliding arms radiating from a central point, it protected tabletop finishes while accommodating dishes of varying dimensions during meal service.

Eighteenth-century dish crosses were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver or Old Sheffield plate, a process involving the fusion of a sheet of silver onto a copper ingot. Components were hand-assembled with cast scroll feet, sliding collars, and beaded or shell-form dish supports.

Authentic Sheffield plate from the Georgian period typically exhibits a layered structure where copper may show slightly through worn high-touch points, known as bleeding. Construction features include hand-brazed seams, die-struck decorative elements, and period-appropriate makers marks or pseudo-hallmarks.

A dish cross functions effectively as a sculptural table centrepiece on a dining table, sideboard, or kitchen island. It can be displayed independently to showcase its mechanical design or utilised functionality as a trivet for modern serving bowls.

Preserve silver plate by cleaning periodically with a gentle, non-abrasive silver cream applied with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid harsh chemical polishes that can wear down the thin silver layer, and store the piece in a low-humidity environment to minimise tarnish and oxidisation.
