RARE WILLIAM IV SILVER TELESCOPING CANDLE DOUTER

London 1831, without maker's mark

 

 

 

Of tubular form, constructed in three telescoping sections, the outer section having engine-turned decoration and a reeded end, the center having an unengraved rectangle for initials, the mouthpiece also reeded; crisp marks, lacking a maker’s mark

 

NOTE :

Douters refer to the family of candle extinguishers.  Most 18th and early 19th century extinguishers are of the scissor form.  Tubular telescoping examples are quite rare. As well, most telescoping douters date from the Victorian period forward – slightly later that this example.

small loss of silver at one end, visible in image below
