10418 George I Antique Silver Snuffer Tray and Scissors
£8,750
It’s unusual to find a completely matching candle snuffer set from this early date, particularly with these attractive features. The scissor stand has an hour glass form, with the flat teardrop handle and small ball feet similar to early chambersticks of that date. The candle douter and wick trimmer has a simple open and shut mechanism and retains the original steel cutting plates, the pointed end was used to loosen and remove candle stubs from the socket. Both pieces bear the attractive hand engraved crest of a stallion horse.
