SKU: 202408094587
We would like to introduce you to antique sterling silver sewing scissors.
It is worn by inserting it into a belt called a "chatelain" and hanging it from the waist, and is one of the accessories worn by ladies.
Women's clothes at the time did not have pockets, so they carried pens, sewing tools, and other items in these pouches.
This is a chatelaine pair of sewing scissors that is thought to date to the early 19th century.
The handle and case are made of pure silver and are beautifully decorated.
The case that covers the scissors and the blade is connected by a chain to prevent them from getting lost.
The steel blade moves smoothly and is well sharpened.
We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
