Is silver-plated cutlery worth anything?

1 Answer
Is silver-plated cutlery worth anything?
Yes, some silver-plated cutlery is worth something. However, any significant value of silverplate usually comes from its age, style, type, make, condition and other characteristics rather than from its materials. This is because silver-plated cutlery consists mostly of base metal and has only a thin layer of silver as its finish. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can evaluate any cutlery you own and give you an estimated value. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silver-plated cutlery.
