Vintage Silver-Tone Candle Snuffer with Black Accent

Description : Vintage long-handled candle snuffer featuring a bell-shaped extinguishing cup, slender metal shaft, and decorative silver-tone handle. The snuffer cup has a contrasting black inset band with fine linear decoration and is connected to the shaft by a pivoting joint, allowing it to be positioned over a candle flame for extinguishing without blowing wax or smoke across the surrounding area. Its approximately 14-inch length provides extended reach for candlesticks, candelabras, and deeper candle displays. The piece shows visible oxidation, surface scratches, tarnish, and finish wear consistent with previous use and age.
