Rare Cast Silver Plated Old Mother Hubbard Table Bell Elkington C.1917

About the Item

Rare Cast Silver Plated Old Mother Hubbard Table Bell Elkington dated Circa.1917 Her head is attached to the clanger and nods as the bell is rung each time. This casting is of the highest quality and and the bell makes a lovely sound as it is rung. The thickness of the silver plating is tremendous as you would expect by Elkington & Co, who invented Electro-Plate in its Birmingham Factory in 1840 and then sold the patent throughout the world soon after. It was quickly taken up by renowned firms such as Christofle and Tiffany & Co who kept up the standard.

By Elkington & Co.
Located in Miklavž Pri Taboru, SI
Antique silver plated creamer by Elkington & Co made in the United Kingdom in the 1880s. Elkington & Co are one of the most important names in English Silver and Silver Plate. Elkington started in Birmingham in 1836, and experimented with innovative gilding techniques. By 1838 they had discovered and patented a new way to electroplate one metal on to the surface of another. By 1840 production was already underway with silver electroplated wares. The company received financial backing from Josiah Mason in 1842 (renaming the firm Elkington, Mason & Co between 1842 and 1861) and was extremely successful. It introduced electrotyping as a new method of production for silver plated items. Elkington & Co exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with enormous success. Elkington held Royal Warrants for Queen Victoria, King Edward VI, King George V, King Edward VIII and King George VI. The Elkington & Co. name is still in use today as manufacturers under the auspices of British Silverware Ltd. The antique creamer...
