Old candlestick with brass extinguisher.

Vintage 'bedroom' candlestick, highly sought after since the 19th century. It is distinguished by its turned shaft with successive baluster patterns, its flared trumpet-shaped bobeche, and especially by its removable conical snuffer. Designed to accompany evenings before electricity, this type of candlestick allowed for the clean extinguishing of the flame without blowing or smoking the wick, a refined gesture that reflects the care given to everyday objects.
