In silver plating, the object to be plated (e.g., a spoon) is made from the cathode of an electrolytic cell. The anode is a bar of silver metal, and the electrolyte (the liquid in between the electrodes) is a solution of silver cyanide, AgCN, in water. When a direct current is passed through the cell, positive silver ions (Ag+) from the silver cyanide migrate to the negative anode (the spoon), where they are neutralized by electrons and stick to the spoon as silver metal

Answer:
Silver plating is done by dissolving the object being plated (cathode- a spoon) in an electrolyte (liquid between the electrodes, silver cyanide, AgCN). Then, current is passed from the cathode of an electrolyte cell into the anode (a silver object).
