Was the piece originally silver plated? If so, I would get restored in antiqued silver plate. I lean toward presentation outweighing non-restoration with regard to silver plated pieces, as the presentation is so dramatically affected positively by restoration. Empire Metal Finishing, 718-545-6700, they have a terrific top quality antique silver finish, they do an A++ job, though not cheap. but its a terrific piece.
