To silver copper object, you can apply the paste for silvering. There are several recipes like this pasta.
Recipe first:
Take 6 g of silver chloride, 8 g of sodium chloride (table salt), 8 g cream of Tartar. All this grind in a mortar. The resulting powder is diluted with distilled water to the consistency of liquid paste. Toothpaste applied to a soft cloth or a flap of soft leather and RUB it copper objects. When rubbing, the piece will become silver glitter, it needs to be rinsed in water and Polish with a piece of flannel.
