These silver table scissors, crafted in 1853 by the Dutch workshop J.M. Van Kempen & Sohn, embody the late Victorian style with decorative details characteristic of the era. Made from 830-grade silver and marked with both standard and export hallmarks, the scissors feature oval handles with a subtle beaded edge and arms with elegantly flowing curves and stylized cutouts. The blades are straight, tapering to a fine point, with a visible screw securing the central pivot. The surface has retained a slightly matte sheen and a noble patina, underscoring the object's authenticity. The scissors are equipped with supports that lift the handles, making them easy to grasp and use. Measuring 14 x 5.6 x 2 cm and weighing 57.37 g, they offer a balanced and comfortable grip. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, with no damage and fully functional. These scissors echo the voice of 19th-century Europe: silver that has acquired a dignified patina over the decades, telling the story of craftsmanship and the daily rituals of the table. The gentle curves of the arms and the decorative edge reveal a care for detail—as if every gesture was meant to be as refined as it was practical. The oval handles and precise lines evoke the image of a salon where even everyday objects served a representational role, and every accent
