How Much is a Quadruple Silver Plate?
- What is quadruple silver?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Quadruple silver is the term for silver-plated pieces produced with a quadruple plating process. The name doesn't indicate that a piece has four layers of silver plating. Rather, it means that it features four times the standard amount of pure silver, giving it a brighter, more durable finish. Find a large selection of silver wares on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Yes, some quadruple silver is worth something. Quadruple silver is the term for silver wares that feature four times the amount of sterling silver as standard silver-plated items. However, since these pieces are still predominantly base metal, any value that they have usually comes from their age, maker, style and other characteristics rather than from the silver itself. Some well-known makers of quadruple silver include Roger Brothers, Reed & Barton and the Meriden Britannia Company. To get a rough idea of the value of a particular piece, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024To tell silver from silver plating, try holding a strong magnet near the item.

Markings that say silver plate, EP, EPNS, EPBM or BP indicate plating. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate the piece.
