$47.31 $63.08
♥️ Description ♥️
A lovely antique silver hallmarked pair of sugar tongs. Hallmarks for the maker are partially faded so I am unsure of the maker (first initial T). London assayed c1806. Subtle fiddle pattern which has softened over time. There is an engraved monogram at the top as seen in photos. Items are sent ready to gift. ♥️
♥️ Dimensions ♥️
Length: Approximately 14 cm
Height: Approximately 2 cm
♥️ Condition ♥️
The tongs are in good condition. Minor surface marks/scratches as expected for age and wear. Softer fiddle pattern as it has worn a little over time. Maker hallmark is partially faded and only one initial (T) can be read. It has an engraved monogram but I am uncertain of the lettering. Items are gently cleaned to remove surface dirt. This was polished to show it's beautiful detail as it was severely tarnished. More intensive care/polishing is left to the preferences of the buyer.
