Candle Snuffer Long Handled Copper & Brass Antique
Approximate dimensions: Length - 150mm (5.9")
Condition Good with light marks indicative of both age and usage. Naturally tarnished.
The Candle Snuffer Long Handled Copper & Brass Antique is a vintage tool used for safely extinguishing candles. It measures approximately 150mm in length.
Constructed with a brass handle and a hanging hook, this snuffer features a copper snuffing end. Its lack of branding suggests its origins may be challenging to trace.
Candle snuffers were commonly used in households and religious settings before modern extinguishing methods became prevalent. They were designed to prevent wax splatter and extinguish flames without smoke or disturbance.
The snuffer's light marks and tarnished appearance add to its antique character. We've preserved its natural patina, though polishing is an option for a shinier finish.
This item serves both functional and decorative purposes, offering insight into historical candle extinguishing practices.
