Antique Sugar nippers estimated from 18th or 19th century Design: These nippers feature classic bow-shaped finger loops rather than straight, single-piece lever handles. This specific scissor-action aesthetic peaked during the late Georgian and early Victorian eras. Technology: They are entirely hand-forged from wrought iron, as evidenced by the asymmetric hammered surfaces, the thick central pivot rivet, and the unique shaping of the finger loops. Condition : In authentic, untouched antique condition with a heavy, natural aged patina. Surface oxidation, minor rusting, and pitting are present throughout the entire iron frame, consistent with age and domestic use. The central hinge operates smoothly. The cutting jaws show historical wear from use, giving the outer tips a slightly pointed appearance. No structural repairs or modern alterations. Weight 90gram
