A truly beautiful pair of Victorian solid silver grape scissors / shears. The decoration is particularly delightful with grape vines and vine leaves to both sides of the handles.
On the inside of the blades are the clear hallmarks for the London Assay office with a date mark for 1872 and Lion Passant, along with the silver maker's mark: Chawner & Co (George William Adams).
In superb condition with no damage or repairs, these are an exceptional pair of silver grape scissors in great working order and very aesthetically pleasing.
Would make a wonderful gift.
