Description

A small pair of antique silver handled scissors in their original silver case. They have a chain on, most likely made to be attached to a lady's chatelaine. They are good quality and the case is lined with blue velvet so the scissors fit snugly. There are faint engraved initials on the case "EEL".

The case and the scissors are both clearly hallmarked for Birmingham, 1906 and the maker Lawrence Emanuel

The scissors are in good condition for their age. There are some small areas of rust and corrosion on the blades but they open and close smoothly. There are some light surface marks and a couple of small dents and dinks in the case but overall it displays well.

Approximate Measurements :

Total Length in Case : 4" (10cm)

Width : 1 1/2" (4cm)

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

FAQs

A chatelaine is a decorative belt hook or clasp worn from the waist by women to suspend utilitarian items such as scissors, keys, and thimbles.

Chatelaines and their hanging implements were typically crafted from sterling silver, steel, brass, or gold, often embellished with engraving or gemstones.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period hallmarks, traditional fabrication methods such as hand-engraving, and natural ageing like tarnish or oxidation on the metal.

These small collectables can be displayed inside glass tabletop cabinets, framed in shadow boxes, or styled neatly upon a desk as conversation pieces.

Silver items should be stored in low-humidity environments and cleaned sparingly with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip away historic patination.
