Elkington of Birmingham was one of the most respected and innovative silverplate foundries of the 19th century, renowned for exceptional quality and pioneering electroplating techniques that set the standard for English tableware. The surfaces retain their original aged patina with areas of natural tarnish intentionally left in place; while silverplate can always be polished bright, an authentic time-earned patina cannot be recreated once removed. The commanding scale and crisp relief make these striking statement pieces for the table or sideboard, rich with both history and presence.
