Antique Jonathan Bell & Sons Silver Plate Claw Tongs British Silverplate Tongs or Nips
This is a pair of sugar tongs or nips made by Jonathan Bell & Sons of Sheffield, England in the mid to late 1800s. The tongs have a pretty oval on the upper portion with flourishes and dots below. The tongs are shaped like claws. I have chosen not to clean or polish these items. I love the beauty of the aged finish and patina and will leave it up to the buyer to clean and polish.
Shipped in an acid free archival bag.
