Lacis Chatelaine Scissors, 19th century

The Lacis Chatelaine Scissor is a reproduction of a safety scissor commonly carried on a chatelaine in the 19th century. It is a sharp pointed 3-1/4" forged Gold handled steel embroidery scissor. It requires no case and was the precursor of the safety folding scissors of today. In the open position each blade serves to protect the point and edge of the opposing blade.
