These are an outstanding pair of early Victorian silver-gilt grape scissors made by Francis Higgins.
These high quality grape shears have cast handles that are beautifully formed as vine tendrils, leaves and bunches of grapes. The all-over gilding adds an extra touch of exhuberance to these after-dinner implements. They remain in excellent condition with the London hallmarks spread between the insides of both blades.
