FAQs

Old Sheffield Plate is an early form of silver plating produced by fusing a layer of sterling silver to a copper base, predominantly manufactured between the 1740s and the mid-19th century before electroplating was invented.

These pieces were typically constructed using the fusion plating method, where silver and copper sheets were heated and rolled together, often featuring hand-soldered applied mounts, handles, and engraved crests.

Authenticity is often identified by visible traces of copper bleeding through high-friction areas or edges where the thin silver layer has worn down, along with characteristic weight, construction seams, and lack of electroplate manufacturer marks.

An antique metal cooler can be repurposed as a decorative centrepiece on a dining table or sideboard, or utilised to hold botanicals and floral arrangements to create a sophisticated focal point.

Care should be taken to use non-abrasive silver foams or microfibre cloths specifically formulated for plated items, avoiding aggressive rubbing that could wear away the delicate silver layer exposing the underlying copper.
