Antique Silver Spoons

 

 

Item: Sugar Tongs Description: Bright-cut engraved with acorn bowls Hallmark: Circa 1786-90 by IC Dimensions: 140mm long, 36g weight

Comments: A very good quality and interesting pair of tongs that as yet I have been unable to ascribe. At first glance they appear to be London marks for the period 1786-90, however they are unusual because they are marked in the bow and the lion passant is in a straight sided rectangular shield. They could therefore be Exeter or Newcastle - but no IC's appear to have worked there!

Price: SOLD

Ref. No.: WE/9646
