1830 British antique Old Sheffield plate coffee pot
SKU: 202411234865
We would like to present you an antique British silver plate coffee pot.
This is an Old Sheffield plate coffee pot that is thought to date to around 1830.
Old Sheffield Plate is a silver plate product made before the invention of electroplating around 1840, and is made by pressing silver onto copper.
The lid knob and legs are beautifully carved, and the body is decorated with carvings of flowers and leaves.
There are some areas where the silver plating has thinned and the copper color is showing through, but this is also part of the charm of old Sheffield plate.
We hope that this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you.
