FAQs

An argyll is a specialized vessel invented in the late 18th century to keep gravy warm at the dining table by utilizing an internal hot water chamber or core. They were widely used during the Georgian period.

Old Sheffield plate is produced by fusing a layer of silver to a copper core under high heat and pressure, often featuring applied silver wire borders and turned wooden handles.

Authentic pieces often show microscopic hints of the underlying copper bleeding through at high-wear edges, hand-soldered seams, and characteristic Georgian silversmithing hallmarks or makers marks, alongside lack of modern electroplating.

This piece can be displayed on a dining room sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet, adding metallic sheen and historical character to traditional or transitional schemes.

Clean the surface gently using a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialist silver polish, avoiding excessive scrubbing to preserve the thin fused silver layer over the copper substrate.
