Antique Brass Heart Candle Snuffers

A beautifully crafted pair of antique brass candle snuffers, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Designed to safely extinguish candle flames without smoke or wax splatter, these snuffers feature a traditional scissor form with a box-style snuffing chamber and a finely tapered tip for reaching into candlesticks.

The handles are shaped into delicate open hearts, a charming domestic detail that reflects the decorative sensibility of the period. The brass surface has developed a warm, time-earned patina, preserving the character and history of the piece.

Both functional and ornamental, this is a timeless object once essential to everyday life—now equally suited for use, display, or collection.
