FAQs

Grape scissors are specialised dining utensils designed during the nineteenth century specifically to cut individual bunches or stems of grapes cleanly without damaging the remaining fruit or dirtying fingers.

Antique grape scissors were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, frequently featured hardened steel blades or reinforced cutting edges, and were presented in velvet- or silk-lined leatherette storage cases.

Authentic pieces generally display official hallmarks or makers marks indicating silver purity and production origin, along with period-appropriate decorative motifs such as cast foliage, vines, or rococo scrollwork.

These items can be displayed open in their original fitted presentation case on a dining sideboard or styled alongside fine glassware and linen during formal dining occasions.

Clean silver components using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding submersion of hinged joints in water, while keeping the velvet and leather case dry and stored in a humidity-controlled environment.
