"History of Old Sheffield Plate, Being an Account of the Origin, Growth
and Decay of the Industry and of the Antique Silver and White or
Britannia Metal Trade with chronological lists of makers' marks and
numerous illustrations of specimens"
By Frederick Bradbury. Published in London by the Macmillan and Company
in 1912.
Nearly a hundred years after its first publication, this book remains
the standard reference on the famed Sheffield plating firms of England
and their wares. Himself a Freeman in the Worshipful Company of Cutlers,
Bradbury brought personal knowledge of the silver manufacturing industry
to his writing, and spent years researching the origins and history of
the Sheffield trade in dusty record rooms and little-used archives. He
covers the invention and early manufacture of Sheffield Plate, the
history of the Trade, its "processes, practices and inventions", the
workshops, tools & materials, and innovations, as well as offering
advice to collectors, notes on the dating of specimens, and lists of
makers and their marks.
Hardcover. 9.5"x12", xiii + 539 pages, black & white illustrations.
Publisher's blue & gilt covers. Some cover wear, corners bumped, several
small abraded spots on the spine, minor soil, endpapers soiled, minor
internal soil. Signed by Bradbury. $50
