This is a shout out for all of your old and tired disposal eaten flatware. You know what we are talking about...the sterling brush with no bristles...the toothless comb hiding shamefully in your dresser drawer. What about that silver tray missing just one foot or the coffee pot to your silver service with a broken handle?
We invite you to bring all of these things to Croghan’s at 308 King Street on Friday, August 26th and Saturday, August 27th for a free estimate from one of the leading experts in the country for Silver replating and repair. Beth Watson Walker, a Charleston native, is married to Dan who is one of about 10 people in the country who can elevate what appears to be a broken down piece of silver into a beautiful work of art!
Dan actually had to rebuild this epergne from a bag full of pieces that the customer brought in. Do you see why we call this an art? Gaze through all of the pictures below and get inspired by what you may have hidden away in your home!
Pricing is something to consider, as this level of craftsmanship does not come cheap. We will guide you through the process as you make your decision as to replate or restore your favorite things. We will be honest if it would be less expensive or less of a hassle to kiss it goodbye and purchase a new one, or if you should keep it and love it exactly like it is with all of its imperfection. “The beauty of making this decision in a store like Croghan's is that you can see what the value is of different pieces right in front of you. Y'all have such a wide selection of new and estate silver and sterling that it makes it easy to become educated on values.” says Beth.
Come on down Friday or Saturday and see Beth and the rest of the Croghan’s jewels.
