Click to view additional photos

This is a beautiful pair of sterling silver tongs handmade by Canadian silversmith Carl Poul Petersen in the Arts and Crafts tradition. Petersen received his training from the renowned Danish silversmith Georg Jensen. These lovely tongs have a striking silhouette with tapered arms and large, oval-shaped ends. The tongs are undecorated expressing the honesty and simplicity of the Arts and Crafts style, which allows the wonderful hand-hammered surface of the silver to be shown to greatest effect. These tongs are in excellent condition and a very heavy gauge and are very finely crafted. They are marked on the inside of the arms with Petersen’s maker’s mark, and the words Sterling and Handmade. This tongs measure approx. 7 3/4" long. These lovely Arts and Crafts tongs are both beautiful and useful.   Price: $275.00   Stock #ZZ265
