   I really do not know how you find such awesome peices at such jaw-dropping low prices. If you do this for a living, you should be the Dealer of the Century! :)

   PS:
   This is an important piece and is really too good for a pen pot...lol ;)
   
   The originators of silver-plating were George Richards Elkington and Henry Elkington who began their research in times of the industrial revolution. By the 1830's they had patented their processes and 1840 saw the technique of electro-plating brought to perfection.
   
   Culme in the Directory of Gold and Silversmiths, said that "Elkington Electroplate was soon accepted with the result that the firm allowed a number of manufacturers to use the technique under licence. Among the earliest granted were those of Christofle & Cie of France".
   
   In 1868 Queen Victoria permitted much of the royal plate to be copied by Elkingtons and after that a convention was entered into by "several Princes of the reigning families of Europe" whereby they agreed mutually to assist the company in allowing copies of their own national objects for the process of art.
   
   Elkingtons operated independently as Elkington & Co. from 1861 until 1963 when the company was "swallowed up"!
