"Pair Of Scissors, Brussels Around 1750, Sterling Silver And Steel."
Extremely rare pair of Louis XV period scissors in sterling silver hallmarked with the two guarantee hallmarks of the city of Brussels (head of Saint-Michel and Brabant lion). The silversmith's mark and the year are no longer visible. To be dated around 1750. In a remarkable state of preservation. Both blades are steel and are most likely the original ones judging from their patina and very elegant shape typical for the mid-eighteenth century.
