Pair of Early 19th Century Old Sheffield Plate Wine Coasters, U.K. Circa 1830

About the Item

A very handsome pair of re-plated 'Old Sheffield Plate' wine or decanter slides / coasters, both showing rims decorated with shell & scroll cast motifs, rising from turned wood bases centered by plated roundels, their undersides lined with red baize. 'Old Sheffield Plate', not to be confused with items marked SHEFFIELD PLATE (which are much later), was a process first developed in Britain during the mid-18th century that involved sandwiching a sheet of copper between two outer layers of sterling silver, then heating and rolling (annealing) it into sheets to then be formed into an assortment of table items i.e. various forms of hollow-ware, trays, candelabras, candlesticks, wine coasters, etc., and in some cases even cutlery which is quite scarce. This process is considered by collectors to be the finest method of silver plating ever developed, however it ceased production with the advent of electroplating, which was developed and patented by Elkington & Company in 1840.
