A description is given of a method of providing an adhesive silver layer on a glass substrate, in which method the glass surface is activated, whereafter a first silver layer is provided from an electroless silver bath and reinforced by means of a second silver layer which is electrodeposited thereon from a cyanide-free bath comprising ammonia as the complexing agent for silver ions. The method can very suitably be used for silver-plating glass plates, as used in thin gas-discharge displays or thin electron displays, for example selection plates or control plates.
