A Rare Georgian pair of cast solid silver sugar tongs with Adam style floral decoration on the shoulders. They are unusual in that they are very late for this style and feature a date letter! Most cast tongs were superseded in the early 1780’s by the more conventional Bow tongs made from a single piece.
There are no initials on the bow.
