The pruning shears are a traditional agricultural tool used for centuries for pruning vineyards, fruit trees, and for fieldwork. This antique iron pruning shears are distinguished by their wide, rectangular blade, slightly curved at one end, which provided greater precision and efficiency when cutting branches.

The piece we present is made entirely of wrought iron , with a robust finish and a natural oxide patina that demonstrates its authenticity and age. Its design features a hollow tubular handle , intended to be assembled onto a wooden handle, which facilitated the farmer's work.

This pruning shear retains the rustic character of tools of yesteryear, with signs of use that give it a unique personality. The flat, solid blade showcases the quality of hand-forging, a feature that distinguishes traditional pieces from modern production.
