Snuffer Stand 1755 - 1770

This silver "Snuffer Stand" by Philip Syng Jr. dates back to the mid-18th century, specifically between 1755 and 1770. The stand, crafted in the Rococo style, features a decorative, curved tray supported by four feet, and a sculpted handle for holding snuffers. The piece is a fine example of American silversmithing during the colonial era, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of Philip Syng Jr., who was a prominent figure in the field. This Snuffer Stand is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
