Raimond grape scissors

Title

Raimond grape scissors

Description

1920? Raimond grapes scissors. 6.5" long. Silver plated? Unknown source.

Heavy and beautifully formed. The fox heads offer a further point of contact for the fingers of the person using the scissors. A similar Raimond version is on Ebay now for $130. The edge here is not serrated. The seller on Ebay comments that gentlemen do not touch food with their hands. Might one better say that one does not touch food that may come to others? It seems difficult to sit at table and to get grapes from the vine all the way to one's mouth without touching them.
