At Canonbury Antiques we have a large range of Sheffield silver plate epergnes and centrepieces. Nothing completes a dining service quite like one of these beautiful works of art which have their origins in the 1700s as part of an elaborate dinner service.

They also functioned as a showpiece for the silversmiths of the time to really showcase their craftmanship and techniques using newly developed silver plate techniques such as those developed like the Elkington technique of electroplating surfaces and metals.

These silver plate epergnes look great on a dining table which is where they were originally designed to go as part of a dining service - the assortment of glass dishes and bowls can be used to serve smaller dishes such as nuts, sweets and flowers. They are visually stunning, particularly the interplay between the glass and the bright silver. Many of the large centrepieces will stand on a mirrored base so you can admire the reflection from below of the silver work, plus it adds space and light to the room and table.
