Antique Solid Silver Sugar Tongs/nips Harlequin Figural Design - Berthold Muller 1901

19th century
Sold 5 May 2023 · Artisan Antiques
This “Antique Solid Silver Sugar Tongs/nips Harlequin Figural Design - Berthold Muller 1901” found a buyer.

It was listed by Artisan Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

We are delighted to offer this amusing and novel example of a Victorian solid silver sugar tong/nips. It was imported by Berthold Muller in Chester 1901. The tongs are formed in the shape of a harlequin with fine figural detailing.

The pair functions in a similar manner to scissors whereby the user will 'pinch' some sugar (or cubes nowadays) to use for sweetening tea etc.

Whilst the tongs are collectable in their own right for displays, one may additionally wish to use them practically to enjoy a luxurious yet slightly humorous afternoon tea.

Full English hallmarks are present on the tips of the tongs (import mark for Chester 1901).

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.
