EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately designed Silver Sugar Tongs by Suzanne Roy, created in 1936, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of American decorative arts during the 1930s. The black and white graphite drawing on paper from the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., provides a detailed and precise representation of the silver sugar tongs, which were a common tableware accessory during this period. The Silver Sugar Tongs, a period item from the 20th century, exemplify the Art Deco style that was popular in America during the 1930s. The silverware piece features an intricate geometric design, with angular lines and sharp points that reflect the modernist aesthetic of the time. The metal tongs, which were used to scoop sugar cubes or granules into tea or coffee, are a testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship that was valued during this era. Suzanne Roy, the creator of this beautiful artwork, was an accomplished artist and designer who contributed to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The Index of American Design aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and culture, and Roy's drawing of the Silver Sugar Tongs is a valuable addition to this important collection. The Silver Sugar Tongs, with their sleek design and functional elegance, represent a significant aspect of American heritage and cultural history. They remind us of the importance of preserving and celebrating the art and design of the past, and inspire us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in even the most ordinary household objects.
