Is plated silverware worth anything?

Yes, some plated silverware is worth something. The value usually comes from there being a market among collectors for the silverware due to its age, style, maker, condition and other factors. The reason for this is that silver plate contains very little silver and does not have much value as a material on its own. To learn how much a particular piece may be worth, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide collection of silverware.
