"Snuffer: A Journey Through Time and Artistry" Step into the world of snuffers, where functionality meets elegance. From the intricate silver designs of the 17th century to the whimsical satirical cartoons of the Victorian era, these objects have played a vital role in extinguishing candles throughout history. In 1688-89, a candle-snuffer stand with snuffer and extinguisher made its mark in silver craftsmanship. Its delicate details showcased the skill and artistry of its creator, leaving us in awe even centuries later. Similarly, Carmel Wilson's pewter tray and snuffers from 1938 captured a modern twist on this timeless tool. The George II snuffer-stand from the Warrington Plate tells tales of grandeur from 1738. Crafted in silver, it stood as an exquisite piece that adorned luxurious homes during that era. Accompanying it were George II snuffer-scissors from 1731 - another testament to masterful silversmithing. Not only were snuffers functional tools but they also found their place in popular culture. "Snuffing out Boney, " a colour lithograph published by Thomas Tegg in 1814, depicted a humorous scene involving Napoleon Bonaparte being figuratively extinguished - showcasing how these objects became part of social commentary. Queen Anne's snuffer-tray and pair of snuffers from around 1708 exemplify elegance through simplicity. The silver pieces exuded regal charm while serving their practical purpose effortlessly. Beyond their historical significance lies their presence within various forms of media. Engravings such as "Round the World Yachting in the 'Ceylon'" or Thomas Daniell's trade card for Goldsmiths and Silversmiths showcased not only beautiful depictions but also highlighted how integral candle-snuffers were to daily life. Moving away from precious metals, we encounter a brass candle-snuffer and stand from 1710-15.
