    Description

    Presented is an antique pair of English sterling silver tongs made by Thomas Whipman of London in 1804. This is a classically designed piece, with lovely bright-cut engravings along the arms. The curved end of the tongs is monogrammed with the letter W over the letters T and T, which symbolizes a marriage or union.
    The tongs are marked with the lion passant for sterling silver, a duty mark of King George III’s head, a date letter I for the year 1804 and a maker’s mark for Thomas Whipman.
    This piece is in excellent overall condition. There are no dents, no breaks, no splits, no monogram removals and no repairs.
    The tongs measure 5 1/2 inches long and weigh 31.8 grams.
