Mid-century Modern is a design movement in interior, product, graphic design, architecture, and urban development. It was popular in the United States and Europe roughly between 1945 and 1969. The term was defined as a design movement by Cara Greenberg in her 1984 book Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s and is now officially recognized by scholars and museums as a significant movement in design. Generally, the movement is characterized by clean and simple lines with the honest use of materials and it generally does not include decorative embellishments.

Silver Plate refers to a method of applying a thin layer of silver to a base metal such as brass. Therefore it refers to an item which is not solid silver but plated to the outer coating.
