Antique Victorian Sterling silver asparagus tongs (Sold)

A pair of Antique Victorian Sterling silver asparagus tongs which have been designed in the rat tail style with plain handles and nicely pierced blades. The spring action of these tongs is still working very well and they would be perfect to use for serving vegetables and green beans as well as asparagus. There is a bird crest on the end of the handle which is a delightful feature.
