King's Honeysuckle Asparagus Tongs, 1824

A splendid piece of silver! These Georgian silver asparagus tongs just ooze high quality throughout.

They were made by the most important flatware producers of the Regency period, Eley & Fearn, in the King's pattern with the addition of honeysuckle motifs trailing through the cartouche.

The fabulous engraved crest featuring a goat's head is superbly detailed and the two arms are attractively pierced and include a grip to one end to prevent slippage. These serving tongs are fitted with the standard restraining bar to the centre to prevent overstretching. They have a good, hefty weight and are in wonderful condition.
