Pair of sterling silver sugar tongs is in the American Beauty pattern by one of the Art Nouveau period’s most desirable manufacturers, Shiebler. The length is 4 3/4”. The condition is wonderful; the pattern is clear with nice oxidation. Notice how the beautiful pattern flows from the handles down onto the claw grippers. There is a pretty Gothic monogram h on the top ’bend’ of the tongs. The marks are the old Shiebler symbol - PAT’D. JUNE 29, 97 - STERLING.
