A pair of 19th century cast silver plate grape scissors.
Grape scissors are specialised utensils designed for cutting small grape clusters from a larger bunch, typically used in elegant dining settings. Characterised by their short, sharp blades and delicate, ornate handles, grape scissors provide both functionality and refinement.
They became popular in the Victorian era when formal dining and etiquette were highly emphasised. Often crafted from silver or silver-plated materials, they are now considered both a practical tool and a decorative, collectible item for sophisticated table settings.
