gold wash on silver - when did this practice start ?
wonder if anyone knows when the practice of putting gold wash on silver flatware started. does it go way back to the 17th century or before, or is there a specific period when it started ? tks

Hi,
Gilded silver existed since antiquity (Ancient Egypt and Greece).Cannot tell exactly for flatware, but must be the same.
