Best Answer

A candle snuffer is an instrument used to safely put out a burning candle. It also prevents the candle's wick from drifting into the melted wax. It is usually a bell shaped device that you hold over a lit candle, preventing it from getting the oxygen it needs to remain lit.

A long pole with an inverted cone at the end -
the cone goes over the lit candle and cuts off
the air to it so the candle is snuffed (goes out).
Used when candles are on a candle holder high on a wall.
