Old pair of scissors or candle snuffer

Will you be able to resist this atypical object: a pair of scissors or candle snuffers dating from the end of the 19th century or beginning of the 20th century. The swatters were intended to extinguish and trim the burnt wick of candles. In the reservoir located on one of the blades, the incandescent wick was enclosed to smother it and prevent smoke emanations. This fly is made of patinated metal. Three feet allow it to be placed from below. Still operational, this fly full of authenticity awaits its new life... As decoration or for your beautiful candlesticks. Net weight: 70 g dimensions: 17 X 6 X 3 cm.
