Part of the exhibition in the Decorative Arts collection is some of the artefacts produced by Elkington and Co.
The pattern on these alluring decorative objects were created by electro-plating. Electro-plating is the process of coating a thin layer of metal upon object by using electricity. The objects were bought by Blackburn Museum in the 1870's giving a captivating look at Victorian style.
The range of objects are enchanting due to the different textures created by electro-plating.
I'd like to have a closer look the classic Victorian patterns so, in the future I could use these objects as a starting point for a print or embroidery pattern for my work.
