A pair of Victorian silver plate engraved and pierced asparagus tongs.
Asparagus tongs, developed in the 18th century, were designed specifically for serving asparagus with elegance and ease. Originating in Europe, these tongs feature long, slender arms and a scalloped or serrated design to grasp delicate asparagus spears without damaging them.
Their introduction reflected the period's emphasis on refined dining and proper etiquette. Over time, asparagus tongs became a staple in formal settings, symbolising sophistication and attention to culinary presentation.
