Antique silver tea tongs or sometimes known as sugar nips, the makers mark is very difficult to make out but we believe theres a letter W from which we would say there is a good chance these may be by William Chatterton c.1770.
In excellent order without damage or repair and carry an unresearched family crest to one side of the central section.
They measure 116mm in length.
