Is Leonard silverplate real silver?
1 Answer
Yes, Leonard silverplate is real silver, but it is not solid silver. By definition, silverplate is a base metal finished with a thin layer of genuine silver. During the mid-20th century, Leonard Silver Manufacturing became widely known for producing economically priced silverplate pieces inspired by Victorian silverware and tableware. In 1979, the company merged with the Towle Manufacturing Co., and production of Leonard silverplate ceased. Explore a diverse assortment of silver wares on 1stDibs.
