Regular price
$378.00
Presented is a fabulous pair of sterling silver grape shears, made circa 1845. This piece displays wonderfully cast handles with high relief grape vines, leaves and fruit clusters all beautifully decorated. The back of the shears is monogrammed “MH” in a flowing script.
This piece is marked with a maker's mark “Y&W” which is likely for Yapp & Woodward of Birmingham, England. There are no English hallmarks to verify that the piece is English, but we were unable to identify an American maker with the same mark.
The scissors are in excellent overall condition. The cast decorations are crisp. The piece closes well. There are no breaks, no repairs, and no problems of any kind.
Length: 7 1/4 inches
Weight: 103.5 or 3.65 ounces. Everything is solid sterling silver. -kc
