Viners of Sheffield England "Alpha Plate" candlesticks are a product of a well-known British company with a rich history in silverware and cutlery. "Alpha Plate" is a trademark used by Viners for a line of their electroplated silverware. This means the candlesticks are not made of solid silver, but rather a base metal (often copper or nickel silver) that has been coated with a layer of pure silver through an electrochemical process. The candlesticks will need a minor clean with silver polish. Dimensions: 29cm (h)
