Eustace was perhaps the most well known and famous of all the Exeter
silver-smiths. His work is superb by any standards. He is first recorded
in 1773 and worked through to 1789. This pair of tongs is magnificent.
They have lovely sharp bright cut engraving and a unique style, with cut in
shoulders and beautifully shaped acorn bowls. They have no monogram and are
marked with just the lion passant and maker’s mark, dating them some time
before 1784. Click on any picture to enlarge |
