Removal of silver plate from E.P.N.S cutlery

I make house wares(candle holders, coat hooks etc) and jewelry from reclaimed nickel and E.P.N.S.cutlery. How do I strip old silverplate from E.P.N.S cutlery without damaging(or as little as possible) the nickel silver underneath. Polishing it out removes too much detail.

I have a canteen of viners silver rose cutlery. The e.p.n.s. is badly worn after 32 years service. Can you advise me, what should I do with the cutlery now.
