Antique Late 19th-Century Copper Candle Snuffer | Ornate Embossed Handle

A beautifully detailed late 19th-century candle snuffer, thoughtfully restored in warm, polished copper by Coppermill & Co.

Measuring 6.5 inches long, this distinctive antique features a graceful, continuous design, with a gently curved bell-shaped snuffer extending into an elaborately embossed handle. Delicate scrolling foliage, flowing lines, and ornamental detailing lend the piece an unmistakably Victorian character.

Particularly interesting is the original inscription along the handle, which appears to read “Sweden Extra Prima N.S. Alp.”

Both beautiful and functional, this petite candle snuffer is a lovely addition to a candlelight collection, bringing a sense of 19th-century ritual and refinement to the modern home.
