FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is a composite material made by fusing a thin layer of silver to a thicker copper base, predominantly produced from the mid-18th century until the introduction of electroplating in the 1840s.

Pieces were traditionally handcrafted by fusing copper and silver sheets under high heat, then shaping the metal by hand, often incorporating pierced frameworks and blown glass liners.

Authentic pieces often reveal a thin line of darker copper showing along cut edges or worn high points, and generally lack the maker marks typical of solid sterling silver.

This item can be displayed on a sideboard or dining table as a focal point, pairing the metallic sheen and coloured glass with minimalist contemporary surroundings for contrast.

Clean gently using a mild, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to avoid wearing through the thin silver layer to the underlying copper.
