Cailar and Bayard, French, Silver Plate Tongs with Lion's Paws

Sorry, this item has sold.

This pair of silver-plate tongs measures 6" in length and were manufactured by Cailar and Bayard of Paris. The firm operated between 1848 and 1934, and you can see the maker's marks in the last photo. I am conservatively dating these tongs as being circa early 1930s, but they could be earlier.

Please note that the patina is timeworn with many dull marks, scratches and wear. I did use the tin foil/baking soda method to clean them but this did not do much for them.

Thank you for looking.
