Vintage Silver Plate Tongs FB EPNS Silverplated Sugar Nips
These are vintage silver plated sugar tongs made in Sheffield, England. They are hallmarked “FB” which is possibly for Fenton Brothers. The tongs have a beautiful etched design of swirly stylized vines and flowers all along both handles.
I have chosen not to clean or polish this item. 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.
