A Pair of Silver Gilt Grape ScissorsSOLD

This beautiful pair of vine leaf and grape scissors were made in London 1843 by Charles Rawlins & William Summers. They are of excellent quality and beautiful design. They are silver gilt, and marked in the blades- these marks are very hard to see without a glass, because they are struck very deeply, and are quite small. I have done my best to photograph them, but I do guarantee that they are the date and maker I indicate here.

They measure 9.5cm and weigh 143.g and are in excellent condition with no damage or repair..

Type: grape scissors
Function: Dining
Maker: Rawlins and Summers
Country: England
