A Metal with Depth
Despite its name, nickel silver contains no actual silver. This copper-based alloy—typically composed of copper, nickel, and zinc—is valued for its bright, silvery appearance and excellent corrosion resistance. Its durability and ability to take on a high polish made it a popular choice in early 20th-century architecture, especially for decorative interior elements like panels, grilles, hardware, and trim.
