What is the difference between silver-plated metal and solid silver?

Solid silver contains 92.5% pure silver and carries significant intrinsic value, marked in France by the Minerva hallmark. Silver-plated metal is a base alloy — brass, nickel silver or white metal — coated with a thin layer of silver by electroplating. It costs less but can reach exceptional quality when made by a major house.

How do I recognise a genuine Christofle silver-plated piece?

Christofle pieces typically bear an oval cartouche with interlaced initials, sometimes accompanied by a model number and a digit indicating the thickness of the silver deposit. These marks appear on the underside of hollow ware or on the blade of cutlery. Old Christofle catalogues allow precise identification of the model and production period.

What are typical prices for antique silver-plated objects?

A single piece of cutlery generally sells for £5–£30, a serving tray for £40–£250 depending on size and maker. A complete Christofle or Ercuis tea service in good condition can reach £300–£1,200. Art Deco or Belle Époque pieces in excellent condition with a legible maker's mark command the highest prices.

Can a worn silver-plated object be re-plated?

Yes, galvanic re-silvering is a common and entirely acceptable practice. Entrust the piece to a specialist silversmith or plating workshop. Bear in mind that recent re-plating can slightly reduce collector value, particularly if chased or engraved decoration has been softened by the new deposit.

How should I store and care for antique silver-plated pieces?

Clean with a soft cloth and a silverplate-specific product, avoiding all abrasives. Store in anti-tarnish rolls or acid-free tissue paper. Never use a dishwasher, and avoid prolonged contact with acidic foods. Regular, gentle maintenance prevents oxidation and preserves the brightness of the silver layer.
