"Scissors" is a 1733 work by the Spanish silversmith Gabriel de la Vega. The intricate, decorative scissors, crafted with elegant scrollwork, are a testament to the artistry of the period. The intricate detail and the delicate balance of the scissor blades are hallmarks of Spanish silversmithing in the 18th century. They can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
