Historical Note:
EPNS became widely popular in England during the Victorian period as an affordable alternative to sterling silver. While the electroplating technique originated in the 19th century, many Victorian-style designs continued to be reproduced into the early and mid 20th century. These tongs are likely late Victorian revival rather than strictly 19th century.
A lovely collectible piece, perfect for a tea setting, display cabinet, or addition to a vintage silver collection.
