An early piece marked on the inside of one leg with Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem, "Sterling," and "Copyrighted," this pair of tongs measure 5 1/4" long and weigh a substantial 1.55 T. oz.
Introduced in 1883, the pattern is Cluny, which is one among the many enduringly appealing lines originated by Gorham's renowned designer Antoine Heller.
The pattern features dense, high relief, floral elements with rosette and palmetto accents, set on a three-lobed handle end.
The grips are cupped, claw form, and highly articulated.
Never monogrammed, this is in flawless estate condition. It is without bends, nicks, or polishing wear, and shows a bright finish.
