About the Item
Snuffers with cover. Silver. Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez, Madrid, 1846.
With contrast markings.
Scissors to cut the wick of candles, known as snuffers, made of silver in their color that have a decoration with a marked classicist influence in all their elements. The set is completed by a cover with a circular base and a fluted body (of a type known as “umbrella” due to its shape) that was very common in many candlesticks of the time. The hallmarks indicate that they were made in Madrid in 1846, in the Real Fábrica de Platería Martínez (or Platerías Martínez), created by Real Cédula in 1778 by Carlos III and thanks to Antonio Martínez Barrio (died in 1798). To see how popular this model was, compare it with the sheathed snuffers by Ramón Espuñes, dated 1847, which are preserved in the National Archaeological Museum (Madrid, Spain). And to see something similar, with the couple dated 1838 and made by Platerías Martínez from the Madrid History Museum.
