AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique wrought iron candle snuffer. Europe, second half 18th century. 16.8 cm in length.

Instead of simply blowing out candles, people often used snuffers. This pair of 'scissor' snuffers works by pinching the wick to put out the flame.

In excellent condition. The pictures are part of the description. This lot will be sent via registered mail on the weekend.
