FAQs

During the 19th century, candle snuffersspecifically wick trimmers with a small fitted boxwere designed to trim and extinguish burning candle wicks without creating smoke or spattering wax. The accompanying tray provided a dedicated surface to rest the soot-covered instrument after use.

Victorian candle snuffers and trays were primarily crafted from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, or electroplated nickel silver, featuring cast scissor mechanics, tiny elevated feet, and decorative gadrooned or foliate borders.

Authentic pieces typically feature mechanical scissor joints, small resting feet on the underside of the trimmers, makers hallmarks or silver plate marks, and stylistic features such as scrollwork or gadrooning characteristic of mid-to-late 19th-century metalwork.

This type of decorative silverwork can be displayed on a coffee table, console, or sideboard top alongside contemporary candles and books to add historic metallic accenting to a room.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and polish periodically using a non-abrasive silver cream, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the silver plating or damage fine chased detailing.
