These are a lovely pair of early 20th Century Edwardian Solid Silver asparagus serving tongs. The are hallmarked as photographed for London, 1906 on the underside of the curved section on the tongs. There are no maker's marks just the date letters.
They are very stylish with an Art Nouveau Shell-like Rococo Design on each handle, as shown in my photographs. There is a shallow bright-cut Edwardian monogram - the letter "A" - on the curved end of the tongs as shown. This could easily be polished out if you did not like it.
A lovely pair of servers and beautifully made. Although classified officially as asparagus servers, they could, of course, be used as serving tongs for any other dainty treats.
They are in excellent antique condition with no damages, scratches or dents. The tongs are certainly so beautifully made and this is reflected in my asking price for them.
They are just over 7 1/4 inches in length - and the pierced tong paddles measures about 2 1/4 x 1 3/4 inches. With a good weight to them. They are certainly a fine piece of stylish Edwardian silver tableware.
