The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Grape scissors were designed to snip small bunches of grapes from a larger central stalk during the formal dessert course, preventing guests from damaging the fruit or soiling their fingers.

They were most commonly forged from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver to withstand oxidation and corrosion from acidic fruit juices.

Authentic pieces generally display official British silver hallmarksincluding makers marks, purity stamps, duty marks, and date lettersalong with era-specific motifs such as repousse scrollwork.

They can be displayed on a dining room sideboard top, integrated into a curated display case of historical cutlery, or styled as part of a formal tablescape alongside antique glassware.

Clean gently using warm water and a mild non-acidic soap, followed by hand-drying with a microfibre cloth; apply specialized silver polish sparingly to preserve surface details.
