Founded by the brothers George and Henry Elkington in Birmingham. In 1840 they were the first to patent a method that used an electric current to coat an item in a thin layer of metal (normally silver). Electroplating became a huge industry with the Elkington firm at the fore. Taken over by British Silverware in 1963.
