🧵 Description
A fine pair of antique sterling silver sewing scissors by Blackinton Silver Co., one of America’s respected silver manufacturers based in Attleboro, Massachusetts. These petite 4" scissors feature beautifully engraved sterling handles with classic floral and scrollwork decoration, paired with steel blades typical of quality sewing tools from the period.
Blackinton is best known for producing well-made sterling hollowware and flatware, and their sewing accessories share the same attention to craftsmanship and design. The engraving remains crisp, and the overall form is elegant and balanced in the hand.
The scissors open and close smoothly and still cut, though most collectors today value examples like this primarily for display, collection, or light occasional use, preserving the integrity of the antique blades.
