FAQs

A travelling communion set is a portable kit containing sacred vessels such as a flaggon, chalice, and paten, historically used by clergy to administer the sacraments to the sick or homebound.

These items were typically crafted from base metals such as brass, copper, or nickel silver, which were then heavily silver-plated using traditional electroplating techniques pioneered by makers like Elkington.

Authentic pieces bear the specific Elkington manufacturer hallmarks and date letters stamped into the metal, indicating the year of production and electroplating quality.

These polished metal pieces can be displayed on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add a touch of historical craftsmanship and reflective metallic contrast to a room.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialised polish to avoid wearing away the thin plating layer, and stored in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing.
