FAQs

Victorian Rococo Revival silverware is defined by ornate scrollwork, organic motifs, asymmetrical foliage, and sculpted figures such as cherubs or putti. During mid-to-late 19th-century Britain, makers combined historic Rococo forms with modern electroplating technology to create elaborate dining table decorations.

These pieces were typically cast in base metals like nickel silver or copper before undergoing electroplating with a layer of pure silver. Highlights or figures were sometimes parcel-gilt using mercury or electro-gilding processes to provide contrast against the silver surface.

Authentic Elkington & Co. pieces display distinct manufacturer stamps, including E & Co inside a shield or rectangle, alongside EP for electroplate. Elkington also utilised a structured date-lettering system, where a specific letter shape corresponds directly to the year of manufacture, such as 1868.

Position the candelabra as a singular focal point on a large dining table or minimalist sideboard to highlight its intricate silhouette. Combining elaborate Victorian metalwork with simple modern tableware or contemporary architectural background creates a balanced contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and clean gently using non-abrasive silver polish applied with cotton wool. Avoid aggressive scrubbing on gilded areas, as electro-gilding layers can be delicate, and keep the object in a low-humidity environment to prevent rapid oxidisation.
