Description from the seller
Antique brass candle snuffer with tray – France – 19th/20th century
Elegant antique brass candle snuffer, accompanied by its original wavy-edged tray. The tool features the classic scissor design with a collecting box, used to trim the wick of candles and extinguish the flame without producing smoke. On one of the arms, the marking A.V.&G.S. can be seen, indicating the manufacturer or workshop.
The tray, also in brass, shows a decorative edge and approximate dimensions of 24 cm in length by 10 cm in width, ideal for supporting the candle snuffer and preventing wax drips or soot on the surface.
A functional and decorative set, representative of household utensils used before the arrival of electric lighting.
