Tablett / Salver - versilbert - Birmingham um 1900 Elkington ___________________________________- ELKINGTON & CO LTD Birmingham
Elkington & Co. are one of the most important names in English
silver and certainly the most important in silver plate. They began life
in Birmingham as a company of silversmiths in 1836, and experimented
with improving 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.
In 1885 Elkington registered designs by Christopher Dresser. Dresser's
designs included tea services, sugar bowls, claret jugs, kettles, cruet
stands, baskets, a tureen and a tankard. His models are recorded in
Elkington's silver and plated ware pattern-books.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
