About the Item
Scissors to cut the stems of the bunches of grapes presented on the table at dessert time.
Made of silver, short and quite thick blades, suitable for cutting off the stems of the bunches, with a decoration of vegetable inspiration, branches knotted to bunches of grapes and vine leaves,
Grape shears were invented in England in the Victorian era and then spread to Europe, especially France. The rigid "table manners" of the time in fact required that the diners not touch the food directly with their fingers and this gave impetus to the creation of a whole series of specific cutlery dedicated to the most varied foods, such as the tongs for nuts, the spoon for the strawberries or the fork for the melon, all documented, together with the grape shears, in the catalogs of the great Universal Expositions of the second half of the 19th century. In this case, they bear the S.F.T. monogram on the back of the blade. with the inscription 1860 silver wedding. United States 1860.
