About the Item

This hand-forged pair of 19th century scissors would have been a valuable and versatile tool, whether used by a trained shoemaker to cut leather or a refined scholar to trim a bonsai tree. The large loop handle sits very close to the blade and fits comfortably in the hand, allowing for better control and movement freedom. With its delicate appearance and whimsical butterfly handle, we celebrate this on display as a storied found object.
