EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silver sugar tongs, designed by American artist Mary Berner in the 1930s or 1940s, showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of the Decade's artistic and functional design. The tongs, which measure approximately 11 inches in length, are made of silver and feature intricate engravings and graphite and colored pencil details on the paper template. Mary Berner's Sugar Tongs, held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., are a testament to the artist's ability to merge art and functionality. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art dates the piece to either 1935 or 1942, making it a significant addition to the heritage art of the 20th century. The Sugar Tongs, with their delicate and intricate design, represent the rich cultural history of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The era, marked by the Great Depression and World War II, saw a renewed interest in the decorative arts and functional design. Berner's Sugar Tongs reflect this trend, as they are not only beautiful objects to behold but also serve a practical purpose. The Sugar Tongs' engraved design, which includes abstract geometric patterns and delicate floral motifs, adds to their visual appeal. The contrast between the silver metal and the graphite and colored pencil on paper template further enhances the piece's aesthetic value. This photograph print of Mary Berner's Silver Sugar Tongs, taken at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The tongs' timeless design continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike, making it an essential addition to any art center or gallery.
