Description and Details
These Decouvit embroidery scissors are made in France and are available in three styles.
The scissors are made in Haute- Marne, a region that was once devoted to the production of scissors. They are sold under the Decouvit brand, a company that has been making seam rippers since 1930,- the brand is known to the extent that the generic term for a seam ripper is Decouvit.
The scissors measure;
Bieseles style (Angular embossed)- 9.5 cm
Virty style-(Curved Embossed) 9 cm
Nogent (Rounded) style 9 cm.
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.
Materials: Chromed, Hot Forged.
