1905 - Nickel silver flatware by Daniel & Arter of Birmingham, England. Set of 17 pieces total; 11 dinner forks monogramed W, 1 salad fork, 3 spoons, 1 monogrammed butter paddle, and 1 early Joseph Fry & Co. Sugar shovel. George Richard Elkington and his cousin and partner, Henry Elkington successfully developed electroplating, electrotyping and electrogilding processes from earlier experiments and made them commercially viable. The cousins were not inventors but innovators who, by applying the techniques to industry, revolutionized the silver and plating trades all over the world. In the 1840s, licenses to make the new products were sold widely in Britain and abroad to firms such as Christofle & Co. in Paris. Electroplate, a cheaper and more durable substitute for silver, replaced Sheffield plate within ten years and challenged the supremacy of silver on the dining tables and in the drawing rooms of Europe. - Maish Collection -61282
