On offer is a set of Victorian sterling silver sugar tongs, featuring classic spoon-shaped ends and a traditional wrythen twisted stem. The form is practical and well balanced, typical of late 19th century English silver intended for table use.

The tongs are hallmarked to the inner back section. The marks appear to include the lion passant for sterling silver, the crowned leopard’s head for London, and a Gothic letter date mark that most closely aligns with 1879. This places the piece firmly within the Victorian period, a time when refined silver tableware was an essential part of domestic dining culture in Britain. The restrained design and functional elegance reflect the enduring standards of London silversmithing during this era.

A fine example of Victorian silver sugar tongs that brings character and authenticity to any antique silver collection.
