Art Deco scissors by H. Boker and Co. Germany - 23cm long - c1920's

Beautiful scissors that cut like a dream - quite amazing

Beautifully decorated in the Deco style to the quite unusual flat but surprisingly comfortable handles 

H. Boker & Co are a renowned German manufacturer, having a rich history of producing high-quality cutlery, including scissors, razors, and pocket knives. 

Heinrich Boker  went to Solingen, where the German cutlery industry was developing with enormous speed at the time. Together with Hermann Heuser, an extremely accomplished cutlery expert, he founded Heinr. Boker & Co. in 1869.

There was always an extraordinarily friendly relationship between the Boker companies, so Heinrich could easily take the tree trademark mark with him across the river to Solingen. Since the company was founded, no knife has left the Boker Manufactory without this seal of quality. Unfortunately, the original chestnut tree was struck by lightning in 1925 and destroyed by the impact and subsequent fire. As a reminder of the great chestnut that has become the symbol of high-quality pocket knives from Solingen an artist carved the Boker logo from the wood of the original tree. This work of art still adorns the entrance area of the Boker Knife Manufactory today.

Their Art Deco scissors are particularly notable for their elegant design and craftsmanship.

These scissors often featured intricate patterns and sleek lines characteristic of the Art Deco style making them not only functional but also highly collectable

In very good condition -light scratches from use (see images)
