Full Description
An antique, 19th century very long ecclesiastical candle snuffer
The shaft of this candle snuffer is oak (or possibly a fruitwood)
The overall length is almost 61/2 feet, being 196cms in length. Of this 196cms, 13.5cms is the actual snuffer. The top of the snuffer bears a cross (also in brass)
I have deliberately not cleaned the brass snuffer, nor have I removed all the candle wax that is congealed around it as this adds to the ambience this item creates
This is a fine decorator's item and would also look great in a period home. It takes up very little room in a corner. Unfortunately, due to the length of this item, I will not be able to use one of the standard courier services. It has to be collected I'm afraid (from Buntingford, East Herts SG9)
