The everyday beauty of Silver, brought to you by {name}

Chiara Scotto Pasanisi dei Foscarini

 Raro esemplare di grape scissors , forbice da uva 
nate nell’Ottocento per tagliare i raspi dei grappoli d’uva presentati sulla tavola al momento del dessert.
Realizzate in argento massiccio le forbici da uva presentano in genere lame corte e di un certo spessore, adatte quindi a recidere i raspi dei grappoli, e un decoro di ispirazione vegetale  tralci annodati a grappoli d’uva 
Le forbici da uva  vennero ideate in Inghilterra in epoca vittoriana e poi si diffusero in Europa, in particolare in Francia.  Le rigide “table manners” dell’epoca richiedevano infatti che i commensali non toccassero il cibo direttamente con le dita e questo diede impulso alla realizzazione di tutta una serie di posate specifiche dedicate agli alimenti più vari, come le pinze per le noci, il cucchiaio per le fragole o la forchetta per il melone, tutti documentati - insieme alle forbici da uva - nei cataloghi delle grandi Esposizioni Universali della seconda metà dell’Ottocento.
In ottime condizioni funzionante 
Peso 120 grammi 
Lunghezza 16.50 cm x 5.70 chiusa
