A Pair of Kultakeskus, Finnish 'Pine Cone' Silver Serving Tongs

Manufacturer - Kultakeskus, Helsinki, Finland

Date - 1937

Description - A beautiful pair of high‑quality silver serving tongs by Kultakeskus of Helsinki, a company celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and refined Scandinavian design. The handles are cast in a charming heart‑shaped form, richly detailed with pine cones and pine needles — a wonderfully Nordic decorative motif that feels both naturalistic and sculptural.
The arms are fully sprung, giving the tongs a pleasing, responsive action and making them as practical as they are decorative. The overall quality is unmistakable, with the crispness of the casting and the elegance of the design speaking clearly of Kultakeskus’ reputation for excellence.
Simply delightful — a lovely example of Finnish silverwork with real character and charm.
