Georgian Silver Snuffer Tray
John Tuite
Hallmarked London, 1727

This elegant George II silver snuffer tray was crafted by renowned silversmith John Tuite in the 18th century. The oblong tray features a raised, undulating stepped border, which frames a finely engraved crowned rearing lion crest at the center. A delicate scroll finger hold surmounts one side, providing both a decorative and functional element. The tray is supported by four scrolled whorl feet, enhancing its stately presence.

John Tuite was apprenticed to John Matthews in 1703 and worked in Dublin from 1710 to 1720. Tuite's work is characterized by its elegant simplicity and refined craftsmanship, often commissioned by the aristocracy of his time. Snuffer trays like this were essential in the candlelit world of the 18th century, designed to catch flakes of dried wax as snuffers trimmed candle wicks—a necessity when candles provided the only source of portable light after nightfall.
