Description

Decorative steel candle snuffer with steel side plate box. Scissors-like in form, the base and the sides of the snuff box are attached to the inner blade, while a flat cover for the side of the box is attached to the outer blade. Still in working order, the pivoted blades swing to full extension. Three (3) steel legs support the finger rings and the tip of the innter blade. Ornately decorated, the rivets and the snuff box feature intricate vegetal and floral embellishments, and the handle shanks are elegantly curved. The steel foot at the tip of the blade is visibly larger compared to the finger ring supports.
