Antique painted tinware or toleware candle snuffer or wick trimmer tray and 18th century hand-forged iron wick trimmers

Peggy McClard Antiques

Americana & Folk Art

Here are two nice pieces for two really reasonable prices! A circa 1835 painted tinware (often mistakenly called toleware) wick trimmer tray with strong original red paint and gilt stenciled decoaration and a really wonderful, 18th century forged iron pair of wick trimmer. These pieces are shown together because they look terrific together....but they are sold separately.

The tinware tray is 10 1/4" long x 4 1/2" at the widest. It has a rolled edge and, while the paint has wear that one would expect from an 19th century utilitarian piece of tinware, it is in really good strong condition.

The pair of scissor-type wick trimmers (sometimes called candle snuffers) are hand-forged. with beautiful detail work such as the beading around the wick box and the shell on the scissor-tip. The handles are delicately scrolled with small penny feet. Circa 1750

Both together are a real bargain at $270!
