The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Lustre drop candlesticks feature glass or crystal prisms suspended from decorative metal collars. Popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries across Europe, these lighting accessories were designed to catch and refract ambient candlelight throughout dining and drawing rooms.

Traditional lustre candlesticks feature cast brass or bronze bases finished with gilding or protective lacquer coatings. Hanging glass prisms or cut crystal drops are individually attached using fine wire pins threaded through pierced metal collars surrounding the candle socket.

Authentic period examples display hand-cut glass drops with subtle variations in facet alignment and minor wear surrounding the attachment holes. Look for original cast seams, age-appropriate oxidation on the metalwork, and hand-bent wire connectors rather than modern machine-stamped fittings.

Position these candlesticks as symmetrical pairs on a dining table, sideboard top, or fireplace mantelpiece to create structured height. Pairing historic metalwork with plain modern taper candles provides a visual contrast between traditional ornamentation and clean modern lines.

Dust metal surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that strip historical gilding or lacquers. Glass lustre drops should be unclipped carefully and washed in warm water with mild washing-up liquid before being dried completely and reattached.
