These sterling silver sugar nips date from 1930 in the Art Deco style, made by Georg Jensen with original Jensen marks and London import hallmarks. The silver metal has a polished finish and silver colour, shaped in an Acanthus pattern with a sprung scissor mechanism. The design includes a central pivot joint, fan motifs, shell grips, and decorative handles. The item measures 19 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, with a strong spring and no dents or splits. In a modern home, this piece is suitable for display or storage on a sideboard top, kitchen counter, or dining table cabinet. It functions practically for serving sugar lumps at tea time or functions as a collectable antique silverware item for display among tableware collections.

FAQs

Art Deco silver sugar nips typically exhibit geometric forms, stylized organic motifs, and clean symmetrical lines reflecting the early 20th-century design movement. Craftsmen during this era combined functionality with refined metalworking techniques, moving away from heavy Victorian ornamentation.

High-grade sterling silver, typically hallmarked at 925 purity, was the primary material for luxury tableware items. Silver-plated base metals were also utilized for everyday production, featuring soldered joints and hand-chased terminal grips.

Authenticity is verified by checking for official maker marks, standard sterling hallmarks, and country purity stamps near the pivot or handle interior. Original pieces demonstrate precise mechanical operation, clean solder joints, and authentic surface wear consistent with age.

Small silver accessories can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, arranged on a mirrored bar cart, or stored alongside fine china within a glass-fronted cabinet. They add historical texture and metallic interest to contemporary entertaining spaces.

Clean sterling silver using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation without scratching the metal surface. Store pieces in tarnish-resistant cloth bags away from direct humidity and rubber materials.
