The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Blowpipe candle snuffers were introduced as an alternative method to extinguish candles without producing excess smoke or spraying hot wax. By blowing gently through the hollow tube, air is directed precisely onto the wick base to extinguish the flame efficiently.

High-end late nineteenth-century candle snuffers were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, or brass. They were formed using drawn metal tubing with soldered mouthpieces and carefully shaped terminal nozzles.

Authentic British pieces display complete hallmark sets, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Prominent makers such as Sampson Mordan stamped their distinct maker marks directly onto the tubular body.

Position the piece horizontally across a tray alongside modern candles or set it on a mantelpiece near brass candlesticks to add historical texture. It also functions effectively displayed on a desk, bookshelf, or sideboard as a decorative curio.

Silver accessories should be gently polished with a soft cotton cloth and a specialised silver cream to remove tarnish. Avoid abrasive metal cleaners and store the item in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent rapid oxidisation.
