A pair of A E Jones silver arts and crafts sugar tongs

Price: £195

For sale is this rare pair of modernist design A E Jones silver sugar tongs. The tongs are hand hammered. Whilst I think Jones must have made many pairs of sugar tongs, to go with the many tea sets he sold, I can find no other comparable pair.  They are dated 1919 and in very good condition.
