The casting is particularly fine and remains sharp and well-defined throughout, a testament to the quality of early 19th-century London silversmithing.
The ornate vine motif is emblematic of early Victorian silverware, yet these remain rooted in the elegance of late Georgian design — ideal for collectors of English silver, and a sophisticated addition to any fine dining setting.
The scissor action is tight and smooth, functioning perfectly as both a decorative and practical piece. Hallmarks are clear and well struck, attesting to the maker and date.
Measuring 18cm in length and weighing 3.7 troy ounces (117 grams), these are a fine and functional piece of table silver, perfect for formal dining or as a distinguished gift.
Presented in a fitted, velvet-lined associated case, which enhances its appeal as a presentation or collector’s item.
