Is sterling silver plate worth anything?

1 Answer
Is sterling silver plate worth anything?
Yes, some sterling silver plate is worth something. However, the value of silver-plated pieces will usually come from their maker, type, style, age, condition and other factors rather than from their materials. Sterling silver plate actually contains very little silver and is primarily made of a less expensive base metal. To learn how much your item may be worth, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find a large collection of silver wares on 1stDibs.
