Vintage candle snuffer

Vintage Brass Candle Snuffer – Antique Wick Trimmer Scissors with Collector Box
 
There is a quiet elegance in old tools made for light.
This brass wick trimmer once lived beside oil lamps and beeswax candles, its weight familiar to hands that kept nightly flames steady.
Every evening, just before dusk settled, someone would lift it gently, trim the wick, and let the small built-in box catch the charred remains — a tiny ritual that belonged to a slower world.

The metal still carries that sense of calm purpose.
The soft patina, the simple silhouette, the scissor-like shape… all whisper of long winter nights, handwritten letters, warm wooden tables and the glow of candlelight before electricity brightened our homes.

This fantastic antique candle snuffer and wick trimmer is shaped like a pair of scissors, complete with a built-in box that catches the trimmed wick. Before paraffin wax and electric lighting, tools like this were essential for keeping candles burning cleanly and safely. This simple, unadorned brass trimmer has survived the years with grace and remains fully functional.
