Description from the seller
Elegant antique pair of candle-snuffing scissors (smoccolatoio) in darkened brass. The piece features a refined line with heart-shaped handles and engraved decorations along the body.
Operation: Equipped with a side tray designed to collect the wick residues and a snap-fit closure system.
Details: It rests on three small feet (two on the loops and one on the tip) that allow you to place it on a tray or a piece of furniture without dirtying the surface.
Dimensions: Length about 16 cm (as shown in the photo with a ruler).
Condition: Good vintage condition, with a beautiful patina of age. It shows no breaks, the pivot is firmly in place, and the mechanism is working perfectly. Ideal for collectors or as a decorative accessory for classic and rustic interiors.
