FAQs

Candle extinguishers and snuffers became essential household implements during periods when wax and tallow candles were the primary source of indoor lighting, often crafted by renowned silversmiths with distinct hallmarks.

Traditional snuffers and extinguishers were primarily constructed from sterling silver, brass, or plated metals, often featuring hollow stems and weighted bells for optimal balance.

Authentic pieces are identified by clear makers marks, town marks, and standard silver purity hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal surface, alongside natural surface patination and wear consistent with age.

These small items work well when displayed as focal points on mantelpieces, sideboards, or coffee tables, adding a touch of historical craftsmanship to contemporary minimalist or traditional schemes.

Preservation involves gentle cleaning with a specialist non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the natural patina, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip historical oxidisation.
