FAQs

Old Sheffield plate is an early form of silver plating produced by fusing a layer of silver onto a copper base, predominantly manufactured in Sheffield, England, from the mid-18th century until the mid-19th century.

Preserve the piece by using a gentle, non-abrasive silver polish applied sparingly to avoid removing the remaining silver layer, and store it in a dry environment to prevent oxidisation.

An antique silver tray can be styled as a reflective centrepiece on a coffee table or sideboard, used to corral glassware, books, or botanical arrangements to create textural contrast.

Authentic pieces often show microscopic traces of copper bleeding through the silver layer where wear has occurred over time, and they typically predate electroplating marks, bearing makers initials rather than standard silver hallmarks.

These items are constructed using a sandwich of sterling silver fused to a thick copper core, often featuring applied cast silver borders and hand-engraved surface details.
