The Manufactures of Elkington & Co., Silversmiths, and Patentees of the Electro Plate. New Edition"
Issued by Elkington in Birmingham in 1873. A wonderful catalog of Victorian hollow ware, flatware, lighting and other fancy silver/silver plate. Elkington had secured the patent for the electro-plating process in 1840 and began producing wares in 1841, in a move that doomed the Sheffield plate industry but made Elkingtonâe(tm)s fortune. They produced an enormous and successful display at the Great Exhibition in 1851, and became a leading manufacturer. Although famous for their plated wares, this catalog notes that almost all of these items could also be purchased in solid sterling. The wares illustrated include everything you needed to outfit an elaborate Victorian table- flatware and serving pieces, tea and coffee pots and sets, hot-water kettles, toast racks, tea caddies, egg frames, table bells, mustard pots, salt cellars, butter coolers, sugar baskets, cake baskets, salvers & trays, biscuit boxes, bottle stands, goblets, candlesticks, cruet frames and liquor frames (with glass bottles illustrated), covered serving dishes and dish covers, tureens, sauce boats, pickle frames, wine coolers & ice pails, fruit stands, inkstands, flower stands, silver-mounted glass claret and hot water jugs, and a series of elaborate centerpieces and candelabra featuring ferns and trees, classical and baroque motifs, stags, hounds and hunters, giraffes under palm trees, sphinxes, and more, many with fancy glass inserts. A wonderful Victorian trade catalog. Stiff card covers. 6âex9.5âe, index page and 29 pages of item listings, plus 45 lithographed plates. Rebound a bit crudely in stiff, cloth-covered card covers with the title portion of the original cloth cover remounted on the front. Some light soil throughout, some page tips thumbed and soiled, a few pages with short closed tears, and the bottom edge re-trimmed not-quite straight, but not close to any lettering or images.
