Sajou Eiffel Tower Hand Paired Gilded Embroidery Scissors

Description and Details

A delightful pair of Sajou hand paired Eiffel Tower gilded scissors with a removable tassel and charm in pink or blue.

The scissors are a re edition of a model from the 1800's and celebrate the silver medal that was awarded to Sajou during the Universal Exhibition held at the Eiffel Tower in 1889.

The scissors measure 10 cm long.

The scissors are beautiful to use, with great handle. They are very hard wearing and snip right up to the points.

The scissors are made in France by craftsmen who are most often from a family tradition of scissor makers. Each blade has a number indicating that they have been hand paired and it can take up to twelve time served Scissor Makers to make each pair.

Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.

Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.

I have other Sajou haberdashery items for sale in my shop so please do take the time to have a browse.
