Questions About Candle Wick Snuffer
- What is a candle snuffer called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Candle snuffers are sometimes called "extinguishers," “dousing cones" and "doubters." However, you will normally see them referred to simply as candle snuffers. You can find a selection of antique and vintage candle snuffers from top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The point of a candle snuffer is to extinguish candles more carefully. Using one to put out a flame is less likely to cause wax splatters and damage to the candle than blowing out the wick. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique candle snuffers.
