6 1/4" Early, American Coin Silver Sugar Tongs by Daniel Curtis, 1816-Fredricksburg, V.A, 1820- Lexington , KY,1825-Woodbury , CT Engraved "FCNB"
Sciarrotta's work is characterized by a sleek and simple style, and many of his smaller pieces feature his signature leaf-shape designs. During the 1950s and 1960s, Sciarrotta’s handmade silver serving dishes, bowls, candelabra, vases, trays, cigarette boxes, etc. were sold at the most exclusive American retailers from coast to coast, including Georg Jensen, Cartier, and Black Starr and Gorham in New York City; Bailey Banks & Biddle in Philadelphia; Gump’s in San Francisco; Shreve, Crump & Low in Boston; and many more. His designs became known as “The Wedding Gift of Philadelphia and Newport” and he was often referred to as the "Modern Cellini;"[1] this was also the title used for his brochure, which was given to retailers and collectors and included in gift packages.
