  1. English pewter

    Unreferenced date September 2007 While the term pewter covers a range of tin based alloys, the term English pewter has come to represent a strictly controlled alloy, specified by BSEN611 1 and British Standard 5140, consisting mainly of tin ideally 92 , with the balance made up of antimony and copper . Significantly, it is free of lead and nickel . Although the exact percentages vary between manufacturers, a typical standard for present day pewter is approximately 91 tin, 7.5 antimony and 1.5 copper. From the 15th century onwards, the composition of English pewter was carefully protected by the Worshipful Company of Pewterers in London. The Company required that the finest quality English pewter contain at least 94 tin, with the balance made of other metals including lead. Lead was removed from the composition in 1974, by BS5140, reinforced by the European directive BSEN611 in 1994. Until the end of the 18th century, the only method of manufacture was by casting and the soldering of components. From the last quarter of the 18th century, improvement in alloys and techniques allowed objects to be made from pewter by stamping and spinning.

  1. Tibetan silver

    orphan date June 2009 Tibetan silver is used primarily in jewellery components, and is similar to pewter an alloy of copper , and sometimes tin or nickel , with a small percentage of pure silver . Its overall appearance is of aged silver, but it can be polished to provide highlights on complex castings. The nickel content is nowadays reduced or absent, due to common allergies to this metal. Tibet silver used to have a higher silver content a decade or two ago, up to 30 or higher, but cheaper reproductions from Far Eastern factories have diluted the term. The genuine article can only really be got from the metal and silversmiths in situ, some of whom still manage to produce work from their long tradition of gold and silversmithing in this country. The related term Nepalese silver , however, seems to have held on to the higher silver content and association with quality metalsmithing. Currently, jewellery, beads and castings described as Tibetan Silver tends to be a base iron cheese metal casting, overlaid with this pewter and silver plating. Dependent on source, these can be either thick and robust, or attractive but easily broken due to a loose, fragile inner casting. The latter productions are therefore only suitable for small castings up to around 12mm, or transient fashion jewellery with a short lifespan. Metallurgical testing of twelve items in 2007 offered for sale on eBay as Tibetan Silver indicated that the articles frequently contained no silver whatsoever. Tests also found that high levels of lead and other dangerous metals such as arsenic were present. ref eBay buyer s http reviews.ebay.com Tibetan Silver A Buyer s Advisory W0QQugidZ10000000003804484 advisory by TierraCast, Inc. ref References Reflist 2 DEFAULTSORT Tibetan Silver Category Copper alloys it Argento tibetano ...   more details
