The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Sugar tongs from the Georgian era were created to serve block sugar during formal tea gatherings, evolving from early scissor-action nips to U-shaped bow designs.

These items were fashioned from solid sterling silver, featuring a central spring bow connecting two arms with carved, cast, or spoon-shaped grips known as nips.

Authentic Georgian pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped on the inner curve or arms, including the duty mark depicting the sovereigns profile, a makers mark, and the lion passant standard mark.

Incorporate these pieces into modern table settings alongside contemporary glassware, or display them flat on a tray or inside a glass display case as part of a silver collection.

Polish lightly with a soft cotton cloth and silver cream, avoiding harsh chemical baths that strip natural oxidisation from detailed hallmark stamps and recesses.
