GLORIOUS ELKINGTON SILVER PLATED FOUR PIECE TEA & COFFEE SET c. 1910 af

PIECE TEA & COFFEE SET. This is one of the prettiest silver plated. Tea sets we ever had which is why. We've hung onto it for this long.

It is Elkington Plate - THE name in. Silver plated items in the 19. The set consists of a coffee pot. A teapot, a sugar bowl and a. They made sterling silver wares initially.

Which they continued to produce. Through their existence but it was. Electroplating' that really put them. At the top of the heap.

This four piece afternoon tea and. Coffee set dates to 1910. It has a date letter Y in a lozenge. Which dates it precisely - see photo. The design is like stylised seaweed.

Or trees perhaps growing up. Perhaps I'm being a bit fanciful. But they almost look like they. Are swaying when the light. Looks like a design Clarice Cliff. Would have put on her china. Or Moorcroft on his pottery. There is the traditional egg and dart. Border on rims and bases that is more. So the set seems to be transitioning. Between the Victorian and Art Deco. It's quite unique and I certainly haven't.

Been able to find another like it. The handles and knobs on the tea and. Coffee pots are'faux wood' that is actually. Bakelite and is extremely convincing. The set has been used and has had.

Two repairs see photos and below in. Condition for more details but overall. It displays beautifully and is still.

The teapot in fact pours like a. The set is a delight and I think you'd be. Hard pressed to find another like it.

Company founded in Birmingham in 1836. By George Richards Elkington and his.

They were known for their innovative. Silver plating techniques and beautiful. Designs, which quickly gained them a. Reputation as one of the top silversmiths. In England after inventing'electroplating.

Which they patented in 1840. This technique involved covering a base. Metal with a thin layer of silver using. An electric current, creating high-quality.

Silver pieces at a more affordable price. This innovation revolutionized the silver. Industry and allowed Elkington & Co. To become one of the largest producers.

Of plated wares in the world. In good used antique condition. Overall with some signs of age. General age related surface marks. To the silver that would be expected.

The sugar bowl has had a professional. Repair to one handle (see photos) which. Is more obvious from the top than. The pin in the hinge of the teapot has been. Lost at some point they can work their.

Way out these little pins as I know from. Has replaced it but not a professional. At least I hope it wasn't a professional!

The replacement pin must be a bit thinner. Than the original and so there is some. Movement here but not too bad and. The actual repair isn't that obvious. The teapot inside has the most wear.

Probably from years of stirring. The other pieces are not pristine. Inside but not too bad and would.

Clean up a bit more than I have. There is one rub mark on the top of.

The coffee pot's lid near the spout. This is of no great consequence, only. Pointing it out for accuracy of. There is probably light wear on other.

High points but nothing I have seen. To point out but it stands to reason. Overall I'd rate the plating condition. The coffee pot stands approximately. High to top of knob.

10 x 12.7cm (4 x 5). The tea pot stands approximately.

12 x 18.5 cm 4 ¾. At the shoulders not incl. The sugar bowl stands approximately.

10.5 cm (4 1/8). High to top of handle. 12 x 9.5cm (4 ¾ x 3 ¾).

The milk jug stands approximately. 8.2 x 5.7cm (3 ¼ x 2 ¼). We guarantee our descriptions are accurate. Please bear in mind that all our items are antique or.
