Chelsea Plating
We are in a business which prompts many people to say, Oh, you really do that? I've been looking for someone for so long!" or "If I had known that would come out so nicely, I wouldn't have thrown away my grandmother's.". A brief description of our services might be antique restoration. However, that does not really cover it.

We do brass, silver, copper and gold plating and polishing of brass, copper, pewter and sterling silver. We also do metal repairs, rewiring, retinning of copper pots, and antiquing & patinating. We repair and restore porcelain and ceramics as well as papier mache, plaster casts, glass, and more. We also do gold leafing.

The tea service was handed down to me by my grandmother and mother. I used it for many years and handed it down to my daughter. It was in serious need of tender loving care, which Chelsea Plating Company provided as you can see by the before and after pictures. I cannot thank them enough.

Great experience from start to finish—good advice on options for the piece I needed retinned, very reasonable prices, and work completed ahead of schedule.

I cannot say enough positives about this company. They have redone a French Art Deco chandelier for me and done repair of damaged sterling forks that of course were better than when they were new.

Recently I took in a candelabra, French Art Nouveau that over the years had become bent and 'wonky.' They were able to bring it back to its Belle Epoch glory and at the same time redid a silver bowl.

When I went to pick up these items, I had two other items I inquired about and Chris was quite frank in asking me if they meant anything to me since the cost would be quite high to redo. I appreciated

They silver plated some old heirloom knives and soldered a pewter stein: stunning work. On picking them up I dropped off some European lamps for updating to US sockets. Love this place; such a good feeling there.

Marc restored a beloved kiddush cup that got destroyed in a garbage disposal. It looks better than new. Thank you!

Took two sconces in to have rewired. Prices amazing and ready
the next day. Marc so friendly. Came back with an antique silver
candle ready the next day also. I will be taking in an antique mold
that needs restoring. I can't recommend this store more. A neighborhood gem.

They did an extremely great job of restoring a 70 year old family treasure. I would trust them to redo any silver. It was a pleasure working with them.
They also shipped our family candelabra to a family member in Colorado very quickly and safely.

Wow! Chelsea Plating restored my 4 Nambé pieces to pure perfection-- including the pieces that are 23 years old! I am so pleased! And working with Mark and Chris was a pleasure. I highly recommend this place for all your metal restoration needs...even your grandmother's precious silver teapot!

What makes Philadelphia different from New York is the store like Chelsea Plating.
I no longer live in the area, but it still is a pleasure to visit them and have some works done after 20 years. They are the artisans and craftsmen of the first caliber who works with their own hands and mind, and above all with their trusting hearts. I thank you for being after all these years!!!

I recently dropped off some silver to be polished and sealed - the silver is just beautiful - i love having it out - but having to polish it every few weeks had grown really really old.

i simply lack the words to describe the quality of their work. my only regret is that i didn't do this ten years ago. it's the absolute best money i've ever spent. the silver sparkles, my home sparkles, and my little spirit sparkles, too.

my favorite new thing is getting to greet the morning with the beauty of polished, sparking jewels, knowing i'll never have to open a jar of polish again

Most helpful. Excellent brass antique lamp & ornament restoration. Also repaired silver baby rattle. Would trust him with any repair. Can be gruff with people who don't take the time to hear what they need done rather than what they want or want immediately.
