**QUALITY** LARGE** Elkington Sheffield Embossed Roman Gods Theme Copper Shield. Sn 19140 - 19140 Elkington of Birmingham revolutionised the silver industry with their electroplating techniques, developed and perfected by George Richards Elkington. He was apprenticed to and later partnered (until 1840) his uncles, J. and G.Richards, producers of jewellery, silver and cut glass. In 1824 he inherited his father's gilt-toy and spectacle firm which he ran with his cousin, Henry Elkington (c.1810-52); they experimented with gilding base metals, taking out patents for their electroplating process in 1836/37 and '40. At first there was resistance from other Sheffield plating firms but from 1840 Elkington's were licensing their patent to other firms, including Christofle in Paris, William Button of Sheffield and Edward Barnard, London. By 1847 Elkington had perfected their technique and subsequently prospered from the mass production of tableware for the catering trade. In addition they produced decorative metal in a variety of styles, from the Roman, Greek, Moorish to the Italian Renaissance. They were famous for producing large quality Shields which decorated Stately homes. This Elkington Shield is solid copper it measures 29” x 21 ½” and weighs a hefty 2.790 Kilos.
