A French silver-plated coffee pot by Armand Frenais, circa 1865, stamped ''Metal Parisien'' and engraved with design registration lozenge, with linear engine-turning, floral frieze, ceramic insulators and vacant floral cartouches, ht. 24 cm.

Production of silver-plated hollow ware, using a tin-containing alloy, so-called "MÉTAL PARISIEN" (Paris metal), as a base metal for the high-voltage galvanic silvering. Similar metal was used at the same time by MANUFACTURE d'ALFÉNIDE [6] under the brand name "métal anglais" (English metal). Both these alloys were of "bright white" colour, allowing the preparation of initial metal bases (before silvering) by simple pressure procedure, but had much smaller thermal stability than i.e. copper.
