Antique Questions Forum / Georgian Silver Plate: Worth less after replating?

« on: November 08, 2011, 02:40:47 pm »

I have an authentic Matthew Boulton tea urn from about 1800.  It was replated by my great-grandmother in 1928 by the Silverode company.  On the bottom it reads "Silverode" - plus it has the original sun marks from Boulton.

Was the value diminished greatly by the replating?

Thanks,
Paul
