FAQs

Grape scissors are specialised dining implements designed during the 18th and 19th centuries specifically for cutting small bunches of grapes at the dining table without bruising the fruit.

Traditional grape scissors were manufactured from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring decorative cast or chased handles and steel cutting edges.

Authentic pieces from the Victorian era typically feature makers marks, period-specific ornamentation such as floral channelling or twist stems, and are frequently housed in fitted velvet-lined cases.

Silver accessories add metallic contrast and historical texture when displayed on sideboards, open shelving, or within glass cabinets in contemporary dining spaces.

Silver plate should be cleaned using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and stored in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing.
