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, also known as grape shears, were specialised dining utensils popularised during the nineteenth century for cutting small bunches of grapes from a larger stem without damaging the fruit.

These implements were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring steel inner blades or reinforced pivots to ensure strength when cutting woody vine stems.

Authentic pieces generally display makers marks, purity hallmarks, or duty marks stamped near the central pivot or along the inner handle surface, alongside expected mechanical wear.

They can be displayed on a dining sideboard alongside silver trays, incorporated into an entertaining table arrangement, or presented inside a glass cabinet.

Clean gently with a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding full submersion of the central pivot mechanism in liquids to prevent internal oxidisation.
