old sheffield plate gallery

In this section you will find our range of Old Sheffield Plate, both 18th and 19th century. Old Sheffield Plate dates from the 1750's to approximately the 1850's and we stock Sheffield Plate of all periods.

Old Sheffield Plate is superior to Electroplate in a number of ways. It tends to be better quality, is generally hand rather than machine made, and more elegant in design than much Victorian Electroplate. It is also of great interest to collectors, and is a subject of study to students of the Industrial Revolution as well as those of Georgian design.
