Antique Silver

 

 

Item: Snuffers and  Tray Description: Scissor-action snuffers on rectangular tray Hallmark: London 1806 by Charles Goodwin Dimensions: 392g combined weight (snuffers weigh 100g and the tray weighs 192g)

Comments: A fine pair of candle snuffers (aka Wick Trimmers) complete with it's original tray. The snuffers have a sprung scissor action that snap shut when released to cut the wick or extinguish a flame. The pointed end can be used if necessary to dig the wick out of the wax prior to lighting. The tray displays a superbly engraved coat-of-arms. The maker's mark on the tray is worn, but in all likelihood would not be the same as on the snuffers as Goodwin was a specialist snuffer-maker.

Price: SOLD
