Rare Ottoman Scribe's Scissors, Circa 1600

Description:
Gold nielloed steel, gilded bronze.

These scissors were used to precisely cut the paper, which received the inscriptions of this calligraphy. The amounts of the rings bear the inscription "ya fattah", "the will of God".
A subtle decoration in gold nielloed and a rib with fine moldings on each blade makes this tool an object of art. The blades having a chevron cut have in fact two cutting edges allowing precise work.
The Louvre has a similar model. We also find a similarity in the shape of the blades to the French model of the Renaissance period (Louvre).

Condition:
Excellent original condition.

Dimensions:
25.5 cm, Ref 3721 / 1 kg / 750
