ABOUT PRODUCTID 11572
These Biedermeier sugar tongs, crafted by the Warsaw manufacturer Fraget in the 19th century, are made from silver-plated copper. The elongated, slender arms gently taper towards the gripping ends, while the surface displays a warm, matte silver hue enhanced by natural patina, most pronounced in the recessed areas. Near the hinge, subtle vegetal and scroll motifs characteristic of the Biedermeier style accentuate the restrained elegance of the design. The handles end in slightly bulbous tips, ensuring a comfortable grip. The overall construction is seamless, with fluid lines and harmonious proportions, free from visible joints or screws. The condition is very good, with only minor signs of use and an attractive patina, and no significant damage or repairs.The form of these tongs speaks to the spirit of early Biedermeier modernity: an everyday object where function meets considered craftsmanship. The delicate engravings on the silvered surface evoke the ambiance of 19th-century Polish parlors, where the ritual of tea and the art of conversation held a special place. The gentle curvature and subtle patina suggest a memory of past gatherings — as if the piece quietly preserves a fragment of domestic tradition from a bygone era.These tongs may be paired with a porcelain sugar bowl from the same period or a glass tea set, presented on a classic tray during an elegant coffee or dessert service. They would work well alongside other antique or vintage accessories: silver spoons, linen napkins, or crystal dishes. Interiors with a classical or eclectic style would best showcase their historical character, while in a contemporary setting, they could serve as a refined, collectible accent.
