FAQs

Grape scissors became popular during the late Georgian period as dining customs shifted to include fresh fruit courses served with specialized silver utensils.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring cast or forged handles and sharp steel-edged blades designed to cleanly snip fruit stems.

Authentic pieces typically feature crisp hallmarks stamped on the metal, including a makers mark, lion passant for sterling silver, date letter, and town mark.

Antique silver pieces can be displayed on a dining sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add historic character and metallic contrast to contemporary spaces.

Store silver in a tarnish-resistant cloth in a dry environment, and clean infrequently using a dedicated non-abrasive silver polish to preserve the original patina.
