Showpiece 18th Century (or Earlier) Hand-Forged Sugar Hammer – 11″ Long – Exceptional Lines.
A striking example of early ironwork: this hand-forged sugar hammer dates to the 18th century, possibly earlier, and measures a full 11″ in length. Crafted with graceful, flowing lines and a balanced form, it was designed for breaking up sugar cones—a staple in colonial kitchens and apothecaries.
The workmanship speaks to a skilled blacksmith’s hand, with elegant tapering and a well-worn patina that only centuries of honest use can produce. Whether displayed as a decorative artifact or added to a collection of early domestic tools, this piece commands attention.
Rare, sculptural, and rich with history.
