Lot 27: French Art Deco Silver Sugar Tongs in Fitted Presentation Case
A pair of silver tongs, intended for sugar or ice, designed with a pronounced Art Deco geometric aesthetic. The central bow features a series of stepped, vertical ribs, while the arms end in scalloped, shell-form claw grips. The interior of the bow is stamped with two square hallmarks: one containing a stylized monogram, possibly representing the letters A and L or A and C, and the second containing the words METAL over BLANC. The tongs are housed in a rectangular presentation case with a brown crocodile-patterned faux leather exterior and a dual-material interior comprising white satin and black velvet with a cream rope-twist border.
