Large Gilded Stork Embroidery Scissors by Sajou

Length of scissors: 16.5 cm (6.5inches)

The scissors are presented in a complimentary Sajou pink toile de jouy pattern canvas scissor case. There is a pink Sajou logo ribbon on the scissors handle.

Stork scissors are more often found in smaller sizes and are much rarer in this large size

Quoted from Madame Sajou’s Diary: “The legend of storks delivering new-borns appeared in Alsace in the 1850’s, a region where this bird is very present in popular imagery. The tradition then spread to the rest of France at the beginning of the 20th century. It is at this period that scissors in the shape of a stork began to appear..
Originally these scissors in the form of a stork were not sharp at the tips because… they were used to cut the umbilical cord on newborn babies!….”
