This web-site is dedicated to silver sugar tongs mainly covering the approximate period from 1760 to 1820 but also beyond into the early Victorian era.  Only sugar tongs that were made in the UK and Ireland are featured here although there were many other countries making sugar tongs during this period.  For navigation around the site, please use the buttons at the top of every page.

 

There are now many collectors of sugar tongs, worldwide.  We attempt on this web-site to show examples of as many different types, dates and makers as we can.  We also do our best to keep the web-site updated with new finds.  A much more comprehensive view on these sugar tongs can be obtained through the book which is available via this web-site.  This will give you a complete reference, easy to hand.

 

I am always happy to help if you have questions about sugar tongs.  Feel free to email me here.

 

This web-site is intended to be FOR YOU the site visitors.  I am always happy to consider new features that you may like to see.  If there is anything you would like to see added to the web-site, or changes made, please feel free to email me.  I cannot guarantee I can do it but I will always consider it.

 

See Collectors Corner for more information about collecting antique silver.
