EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately designed Silver Sugar Tongs, created by Kalamian Walton in 1939, offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image, a pen and ink drawing on paper, illustrates the sugar tongs in exquisite detail, highlighting their engraved initials and intricate silver design. The Silver Sugar Tongs, a period item from the 20th century, were a common utensil used during formal dining occasions in the United States. The tongs, with their long, curved handles and small, scooped ends, were designed to easily pick up and transfer sugar cubes from a sugar bowl to a cup of tea or coffee. Kalamian Walton, the creator of this beautiful piece, was an accomplished artist and designer whose works were featured in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive record of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. The sugar tongs, with their initials and engraved details, are a testament to Walton's skill and attention to detail. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is the current location of this artwork, which is a valuable addition to their collection of heritage art. The sugar tongs, with their silver sheen and intricate design, are a reminder of the rich history of American decorative arts and the importance of preserving and celebrating these pieces for future generations.
