Two ornate 800 silver German Hanau sugar tongs from the 1890s. The similar claw foot silver tongs: one 3-3/4" long and the other 4-1/8" long. Each features fancy high relief decoration in the Rococo style with faces and decorated interiors in imitation of much earlier antique silver tongs. Each has somewhat rubbed hallmarks within a cartouche as would be found in the historical examples and one is possibly made by Gebruder Dingeldein of Hanau (we haven't identified the other one). These 2 ornate tongs were usually in .800 silver and they weigh a total of 46.5 grams and they are in excellent condition with no monograms, dents, bends, corrosion, damage or repairs.
Silver has signs of use as expected.
