OverviewSilver plate came about as a result of a search for a cheaper alternative to real silver and widened the market for articles otherwise fashioned in silver. The discovery and development of fused plate, more commonly known as Old Sheffield Plate, played the major role from the 1750s to the mid 19th century. There is also extensive coverage of the 19th century process, electro-plating. The work includes advice for the collector on distinguishing genuine articles as well as drawings and photographs of marks, where used. 45 colour & 280 b/w illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Stephen HelliwellPublisher: ACC Art Books Imprint: ACC Art Books ISBN: 9781851492473ISBN 10: 185149247 Pages: 208 Publication Date: 01 January 1999 Audience: Professional and scholarly , General/trade , Professional & Vocational , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Print Availability: Out of stock ![]() Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
