How do I clean silver plate?

Clean plated items gently using a soft cloth and a specialised silver cleaner formulated to avoid abrasive damage. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that might wear through the thin silver layer to the underlying base metal. Regular dusting and minimal moisture exposure help preserve the surface finish over time. Store pieces in stable environments away from direct heat sources.

What is Old Sheffield Plate?

Old Sheffield Plate is an early fusion material made by melting a sheet of silver onto a copper base before rolling them into usable sheets. This historical technique results in a durable composite often found on eighteenth and nineteenth-century items. Collectors prize this material for its distinct manufacturing method and the subtle appearance of copper showing through high-friction areas.

Can I use real candles in them?

These holders accommodate standard taper candles provided the diameter matches the socket size. Ensuring a secure fit prevents wax spillage onto the metal surface. Use drip trays or burn candles for short durations to protect the historical plating from excessive heat and wax accumulation.
