Miniature of Sheffield Mace Sheffield plating, not to be confused with modern electroplating, was done only during less than 100 years. The process of fusing a thin layer of silver to copper (the proportion commercially used was 5-7 ounces of silver to 8 pounds of copper) was accidentally discovered in 1742 by Thomas Boulsover, Silver, imported from India, was scarce and heavily taxed, and it’s possession an expression of wealth. The new material which was tax free could be produced for about one-fifth of the cost of the precious metal. Decorative and useful objects, looking exactly like the coveted solid silverware, became thus available to an eager middle class market. By 1838, with the introduction of the electroplating process, the manufacture of true Sheffield plate was discontinued. A Sheffield mace is extremely rare. The 35″ original of this piece was made in the City of Sheffield in 1765 for William Riddell who had been knighted by Charles I in 1641. It is now in use at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford, New Jersey. Copyrighted miniature model, silver plated, made by Alva Museum Replicas, Inc., New York.
