Garret Schanck

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of silver tongs by Garret Schanck. The tongs are lying on a white surface with the ends pointing to the right. The handles of the tongs are engraved with a floral design on the outside edge. The tongs have a shiny surface and appear to be made of metal, likely silver. One end of the tongs is a spoon shape and the other end is a tong. There is a rectangular engraving on the top of the tongs. The background is plain white.
