Description

Group of six silver cups with turned stems. The inside of the cups is in silver vermeil. Silver marks engraved on the edge. 700 grams. The French term vermeil indicates a variety of gilded silver. The characteristics required for this material are a sterling silver base, covered in at least 10 carat gold plating and at least 1 and a half microns thick. However, the use of 14-carat gold, with higher thicknesses, is common. The chemical affinity between silver and gold gives the plating good resistance qualities. Currently plating is obtained by electrolysis. Originally, when this process was introduced in France, in the mid-eighteenth century, fire gilding was carried out. Plating allows you to avoid problems related to the oxidation of silver. Vermeil, being more expensive than silver, is a material used to make valuable objects (jewellery, medals, fountain pens, cutlery, toilet sets, watches, coolers, snuff boxes, travel toiletries, etc.). In fact, its cost is intermediate between that of the two elements that constitute it.
