FAQs

Sugar tongs were developed during the eighteenth century to transfer individual sugar cubes or broken sugar loaves from a container to tea cups without touching the sugar directly by hand.

Edwardian sugar tongs were typically crafted from sterling silver (925 purity), utilising a U-shaped flexible bow for tension alongside cast or stamped spoon or claw ends.

Authentic British sterling silver items feature a series of stamped hallmarks, including the makers mark, the lion passant for silver purity, an assay office symbol, and a specific date letter.

Antique silver tongs can be presented on a dining room sideboard alongside contemporary barware, displayed within a glass bell jar, or integrated into a curated silver serving tray.

Silver tableware should be cleaned with a specialised silver polishing cloth or mild silver foam, washed in warm water, dried thoroughly, and stored in tarnish-inhibiting cloth bags.
