Restoration of a Rare 1935 King George V & Queen Mary Silver Jubilee Commemorative Piece

This restoration video is of a 1935 King George V & Queen Mary Silver Jubilee Commemorative Piece. This item is a very rare and valuable example of British Silver. The piece is in excellent condition and can be considered a high-end restoration. The item will be shipped to its new owner in very secure and padded packaging.
Historical Significance:
This commemorative piece hails from the grand Silver Jubilee celebration of King George V and Queen Mary in 1935. King George V ascended to the throne in 1910, and by 1935, he had been the reigning monarch for 25 years. This momentous occasion was celebrated with great enthusiasm not only in Britain but also across the vast British Empire, which included India.
Rare and Unique:
What makes this piece even more intriguing is its rarity. Labeled as "Very Rare," it's a testament to the historical importance of the event it commemorates. Rarity can stem from various factors, such as limited production, unique design elements, or its connection to a particular place or organization.
The Delhi Municipal Committee Connection:
The "Diameter. Very Rare King George V & Queen Mary Silver Jubilee 1935 Presented By Delhi Municipal Committee" was presented by the Delhi Municipal Committee, now known as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). This connection between the committee and the jubilee signifies the significance of the event in India, which was then under British colonial rule. This piece serves as a tangible link between Delhi's local governance and the grandeur of the British monarchy.
The Restoration Process:
In this video, witness the skilled hands of restoration experts as they carefully work on bringing this rare artifact back to its former glory. From cleaning and preserving its silver composition to repairing any damage accrued over the decades, every step of the restoration process is captured in stunning detail.
Preserving History:
Restoration isn't just about making an object look good again; it's about preserving history for future generations. This commemorative piece carries with it not only the weight of its materials but also the stories of the people and events it represents.

    “Jubilee” means anniversary “Silver” refers to the 25th year anniversary where gifts are traditionally silver (for 50 years being gold etc) The plate is not made of silver, it was a souvenir made of another metal. It appears to have been originally copper plated then likely nickel plated to make it look silver originally but this coating corroded.

Silver can be tarnished to which there are special cleaners that will not abrade the surfaces as you have done. Why would you brass plate the silver ? Usually you would silver plate brass. Very sad to see an historical item being treated so badly, please if you don't know how to restore pieces leave it to the experts.

    First off silver dosent rust. Either it have been atrificially added as many "Restoring" channels do, or the item isen't acually made of silver. Secondly dont use wire brushes on silverware, it will do more damage than good. Use weak acids like citric acid or vinegar do breake up the rust. Even gently heating it up to a slight glow would do the thrick. Then use a soft abrasive sponge whit some polishing compound to bring it back in to a shine.

    What have you done😢.. the begining was great, using chalk was genius, but restoring silverplated steel using a electrobrassing is a crime. Get off this brass and just use a silver solutions. The process isn't cheap but results will be legendarny, trust me.

    It hurts me to see you use a wire brush to restore something historical.

    Now that's quite an interesting sight. I've already realized that this is still ancient stuff. Some more 20th-century property is suddenly emerging.

    This was the cheap souvenir version. Absolutly not silver or brass since neither rust. Several of these on Ebay.

    This rare commemorative plate was cleaned with wire brushes? It makes sense, that a silver plated item would have copper underneath, so why did copper and silver turn rusty? Maybe it would have been faster to polish it on a grinding stone? Or use a set of coarse files? The scratches add an authentic-looking patina. Maybe use a hammer on an anvil to get rid of those pesky bumps in the middle?

    Is there a silver mint stamp on the plate? If not it's not silver, maybe a silver substitute, I'm only guessing.

    If I could just make a small correction to your commentary . . . ? British monarchs do not "rule". They "reign". A ruler's authority can always be revoked; a monarch's authority cannot. It only can cease to be recognised. That plate was not silver, as silver doesn't rust. It tarnishes (goes black). Secondly, even if it were silver, you wouldn't plate brass over silver. That would be putting a cheaper material over a noble material. It looked to me like cheap tinware, stamped out in the thousands. And thirdly---and most importantly---if it were silver-plate you would undoubtedly destroy it by your aggressive scrubbing with a wire brush and the harsh treatments you subjected it to. Please do not try to sell the piece as British Silver. That would be fraudulent. The word "silver" in this case refers to the "silver" anniversary of the king's reign---25 years. Hope this helps clarify matters.

    Lots of abrasives. All that was missing was a chisel.
