Chats on old Sheffield plate
Chats on Old Sheffield Plate is a 1920 London guide to Sheffield plate, written by Arthur Hayden for collectors and silver buyers. The pictures show plated tableware and candlesticks photographed in plain halftone, with a shallow tray, a pitcher with an ebonised handle, a pair of candelabra on a dark ground, and a lyre-backed candlestick, giving designers a clear view of neoclassical silver forms and their engraved bands and beaded rims.
