These lovely rose-gold plated premium fabric shears are sidebents, an offset design which allows the cutting blade to run flat on a surface to anchor a smoother cut. Thomas Wilkinson developed the modern style of sidebents used in tailoring and dressmaking. Whiteley took that firm over in 1875 and still uses the name for these and other premium scissors.
Made in Sheffield using a traditional hot-forge technique, these grand scissors would be lovely for anything from ceremonies and ribbon-cutting to everyday use. They are perfect for a range of fabrics from cotton to jersey and linen.
