Is the Derby Silver Company real silver?
1 Answer
Yes, the Derby Silver Company is real silver. However, most pieces produced by the maker are silver-plate, meaning they have a finish that consists of a thin layer of genuine silver. The remainder of the silver-plated tableware and decorative objects are made of base metal. Founded in 1872, the Derby Silver Company was an American silversmith best known for its line of silver-plated mirrors, combs, brushes, clocks, flatware and tea sets.
