ABOUT PRODUCTID 20603
These sugar tongs, produced by the Henneberg Brothers manufactory in Warsaw during the 1920s, are a classic example of Art Deco tableware. Crafted from electroplated brass, they display a cool, muted silver hue with a subtle golden undertone visible beneath the matte finish. The tongs feature straight, gently tapering arms ending in a deep oval scoop on one side and a shallow rounded cup on the other. The construction is seamless, with smoothly contoured edges and no visible joints. The overall length is 14 cm. The surface shows fine scratches and areas of gentle patina—authentic traces of age and use. The condition is good, with minor wear typical for the period, and authenticity is confirmed by the manufacturer's mark.This small utensil echoes interwar Warsaw—a time when functional objects embraced geometric restraint and understated elegance. The balanced, straightforward outline conjures images of meticulously set tables, where every detail mattered. The softly contoured tips recall the care devoted to even everyday accessories, as if the tongs themselves whisper stories of an era when serving sugar was a subtle, deliberate ritual.The tongs can be paired with period Art Deco porcelain, glass sugar bowls, or silver trays to emphasize their provenance. They fit well on a classically set table or among a collection of 1920s–1930s kitchen utensils. In an eclectic setting, they may be combined with contemporary tableware, providing a discreet vintage accent that refers to the tradition of Polish craftsmanship.
