FAQs

Grape scissors are specialist dining implements designed during the 18th and 19th centuries specifically for snipping small clusters of grapes from the vine at the dining table without damaging the fruit or bruising adjacent grapes.

Traditional grape scissors are primarily crafted from solid sterling silver or silver-plate, occasionally featuring handles made of bone, ivory, mother-of-pearl, or steel blades with silver-mounted grips.

Authentic pieces can be identified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically indicate the makers mark, assay office, standard of silver purity such as sterling, and a date letter denoting the year of manufacture.

Silver tableware items like grape scissors can be displayed on a sideboard, styled on a dining table centrepiece during dinner parties, or housed in a glass-fronted cabinet to add historical texture and metallic sheen to a contemporary interior.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip desirable patination and damage delicate hallmarks.
