Tudor Rose Scissors In May, Paula came to England and stayed in Kent. She visited a number of castles, one of them being Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. There were carved Tudor Roses everywhere and she was already working on these scissors, so felt the name was apt. These scissors are 3.75” long and the tip of the blades are very pointed. The blades are extremely sharp and the scissors look like antique silver. The Tudor Rose Scissors are priced at £6.00 plus p&p. Please contact Linda to order. |
