The Charles X era is famous for the sophistication and quality of its' objects. As far as sewing kits and scissor making, the years 1820-1830, saw the production in France of veritable marvels. These scissors are inspired by the Charles X Style: the handles have tortoiseshell effect handles, a very popular material of the time, and the blades are fine and delicate. Together they make a very light pair of scissors that are a delight to use. Quality scissors can be recognized by, among other things, their pairing marks: these are the signs that the blades have been perfectly adjusted from the start of their fabrication. These scissors, including the fob, are made entirely in France. It should be pointed out that it takes a dozen qualified people to make each pair. Approximately 4" long.
