Paul Revere, famous for his midnight ride, also produced silver objects, like these tongs, crafted between 1807 and 1810. These silver tongs, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are a testament to Revere's versatility as a craftsman. The elegant, simple design reflects the prevailing style of the early 19th century.
