SHEFFIELD PLATE.
Collectors Place 1t Side by Side With
Sterling Silver.


Sterling Silver.
Late in the eighteenth century there
was developed in Sheffield, England,
O new method of fusing thin piece
Of silver upon copper or brass which
was christened with the name of the
city. Attaching silver to baser metal
by means of solder had been known
from remote times. The gay caparisons
Of horse and rider In the tournaments
made demand for work of this sort,
and Otley, little town to the north
Of Sheffield, was long center of its
trade, says Handicraft. 1t is related
that as the call Of such trappings went
out its craftsman drifted toward Shelf
field, and 1t is not unlikely that through
their knowledge and skill the copper
plating was perfected.
1t was at once recognized and copied
by the French, who had hitherto
known only the joining by means Of
solder, and was used for fifty years or
more, when the modern process Of
electroplating superseded it. For a
time after the discovery Of the latter
methods, following common law, the
old plate was discredited and many a
fine piece suffered in careless hands.
Today collectors place choice piece
of Sheffield plate side by side with
sterling silver.
The standard of silver In England,
which Is also our own, has remained
practically unchanged for 500 years.
Two hundred years ago 1t was raised
for about twenty-five years, but the
test of wear proved it too soft to be
durable This silver has the figure Of
Britannia stamped upon 1t and is
known to the trade as Queen Anne
silver. Its standard Is still lawful, but
seldom called for. With the date and
sterling mark Of all English silver are
also the mark of the Office in which
It is assayed and the registered mark
of the maker or the shop from which
1t is sold. There are now seven Offices
where silver may be assayed, some of
the older ones, like York and Exeter,
having been discontinued. London Ia
the oldest among them, its leopard's
head being so highly esteemed that 1t
Is not unusual for manufacturers in the
other cities to send their work there
for its mark At the Goldsmiths' hall,
In London, date letters are preserved
from the time Of Queen Elizabeth;
Edinburgh has date letters from the
seventeenth century and Dublin from
somewhat later, but for the most part
the lists begin close upon the date of
our independence, that of Sheffield
starting In 1873.
