FAQs

Asparagus tongs gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian periods as specialised dining implements designed to serve delicate stalks without damaging them.

These pieces are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, featuring hand-pierced, engraved, or chased blade designs and spring mechanisms created by skilled silversmiths.

Authenticity is verified by checking for official assay office hallmarks, makers marks, and standard purity stamps, alongside observing traditional weight, patina, and construction methods.

These objects can be displayed on sideboards, within glass-fronted cabinets, or utilised during formal dinner parties to add a layer of historical craftsmanship to contemporary table settings.

Silver should be washed gently in warm water with mild soap, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the underlying metal and hallmarks.
