Vintage Aksel Holmsen Norway Ice Tongs
These striking ice tongs are crafted by Aksel Holmsen of Norway, featuring elegant silverplate construction and vibrant French enamel detailing. The tongs utilize a mechanical action, activated by the sliding collars, to securely grip ice cubes or other garnishes. One pair features blue enamel, while the other showcases a beautiful green hue, adding a touch of sophistication to any bar or dining setting.
Condition and Collectibility
These tongs exhibit signs of age and use, consistent with vintage items. The silverplate shows some wear and patina, and the enamel may have minor imperfections. Despite this, the tongs remain structurally sound and retain their unique charm. Collectors of vintage barware, Scandinavian design, or enamelware will find these tongs a desirable addition to their collections, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of elegant entertaining.
