Presented is an antique late 19th century pair of solid silver sugar tongs.
Each bowl is made from a 10 baiocchi coin (one dated 1858, the other 1862).
The handles have a very interesting design; they are formed from thick wire with wrapped wire decoration, similar in feeling to some Italian jewelry of the same time period.
A very interesting addition to your collection!
