FAQs

Meat domes, or serving covers, became popular in formal dining during the 18th and 19th centuries to keep joints of meat warm as they were brought from the kitchen to the dining table.

They were typically manufactured using base metals like copper or nickel silver, which were then electroplated with a layer of silver, often featuring hand-engraved heraldry or floral motifs.

Authentic pieces usually bear manufacturer hallmarks and date letters stamped by Elkington & Co., alongside electroplate marks indicating the quality and period of production.

It can be displayed polished on a sideboard, used as a centrepiece on a dining table, or incorporated into a kitchen setting to add metallic texture and historical contrast.

Clean regularly with a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, storing the item in a dry environment free from extreme humidity to protect the plating.
