Anyone do restorative silver plating?
Wifey has a small silverplate gravy bowl which has been discontinued by
Oneida, and is/was in need of re-plating. A local shop claimed to have re- done it, but in fact _painted_ and buffed the inside, rather than actually stripping to copper (or filling) and re-plating. She priced the work at a museum conservator's shop, and ducked back out the door upon hearing his $1500 price. She'd like it done, but figures the piece was only worth about $150 new, so it doesn't make sense to spend more than that having it re-done. Anyone here do this pro/semi-pro? LLoyd |
