Sajou Scissors - Mother of Pearl Flower Scissors

Inspired by the Charles X style, this pair of embroidery scissors represents a Savoie cross (East of France). The handles are made from imitation mother of pearl, a material which was often used in the past for delicate sewing items. The difference with the vintage models is that ours are more solid and extremely light, making them a joy to use.

In the nineteenth century, these embroidery scissors required the expertise of a cutler for steel blades and that of a toymaker for the working mother of pearl. Today, the division of labor is somewhat similar: steel blades are manufactured by a ciselier, while the branches are developed in our own workshops.

Unlike older models, it is extremely light, very pleasant to use. A quality pair of scissors can be recognized, among others, by its' pairing marks (here "47"): they are the sign of perfectly fit branches, right from the start of production. These scissors, pompom, and medallion included, are made entirely in France. Their production can require the craftsmenship of a dozen qualified people.

Height: 11.8 cm.

This is made of imitation mother of pearl.

The scissors come in a SAJOU box. Inside the lid, a tag describes the manufacturing process.
