FAQs

Victorian electroplated silver centrepieces gained prominence following the commercial development of electroplating in the 1840s, notably by Elkington & Co. These pieces featured classical, gothic, or naturalistic motifs with multi-branched arms designed for formal dining tables.

19th-century candelabras were typically constructed from solid sterling silver, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), brass, or bronze. Electroplated items utilised a base alloy coated with a layer of pure silver via electrolytic deposition.

Authentic Elkington silver plate features distinct manufacturer stamps, including Elkington & Co., a crowned shield mark, and specific date letters indicating the precise year of production.

A Victorian silver candelabra serves as a focal point when placed on a central dining table or a dark wood sideboard, providing architectural height and structural contrast within contemporary decor schemes.

Silver-plated items should be cleaned using non-abrasive silver polishes and soft cotton cloths to prevent wearing through the thin silver layer. Dipping chemicals and harsh detergents should be avoided to preserve detailing and patination.
