EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning candle-snuffer stand with snuffer and extinguisher, crafted in silver during the years 1688-89. The exquisite piece, created by Joseph Bird, measures approximately 19 cm in height and is currently housed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. The candle-snuffer stand features an octagonal moulded foot, a short stem, and an elegant s-shaped handle. Its rectangular receptacle serves as a convenient storage space for the snuffers. The front of the stand bears an engraved script that reads "The Guift of Mr. Jon. Ball 1689" adding a touch of historical significance to this remarkable artifact. Notably, both the extinguisher and nozzle bear the initials "J. B" - presumably representing Joseph Bird himself. Additionally, there is an extending candlestick that fits into a slot on one side of the stand opposite to its handle. This detachable component boasts three scroll feet and a ring handle while featuring gadrooned edges on its nozzle. With its intricate design and ornate details, this candle-snuffer set epitomizes baroque elegance combined with neoclassical influences. It serves as both a functional tool for everyday use and as an exquisite decorative object within any domestic setting. Thanks to generous bequeathment from Mr. and Mrs Assheton-Bennett, this exceptional piece now resides at Manchester Art Gallery where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless beauty.
