Here are rare ASSYRIAN HEAD by 1847 Rogers Bros. These tongs feature a glossy handle and a fine matte finish on the serving end that accentuates the bright cut engraving. This matte finish was created very precisely, with an even consistency throughout and the engraving is expertly formed. There are some minor spots on the interior of the tongs, as can be seen in the photos, but other than that they are in great condition, without any plate loss. The piece measures 10-1/2″ long and 2-1/8″ wide.
