This pair of Victorian mantel lustres comprises two Bohemian flash glass vases standing 27 cm high, 13.5 cm wide, and 13.5 cm deep. The items are formed from ruby red and clear glass, crystal, and brass, displaying a Victorian and Gothic design style with a vibrant ruby red colour finish. Specific visual details include a scalloped rim, an etched stag motif, hanging crystal prisms, and a flared pedestal base. Further visual elements visible on the pieces consist of long faceted crystal spear drops hanging from brass hooks around the perimeter, cut glass panels revealing clear glass beneath the ruby red flash layer, and intricate foliate etching on the circular foot. These decorative mantel lustres suit placement upon a mantelpiece in a traditional living room, drawing room, or dining space to provide ambient illumination and period interior styling. They function effectively as decorative accent pieces on a shelf, side table, or sideboard, catching and reflecting light through their suspended crystal prisms to create a classic decorative focal point in a home.

FAQs

Glass lustres are decorative mantel ornaments or candleholders fitted with suspended glass prisms or drops, designed during the 19th century to catch and refract light across a room.

They were crafted by fusing a thin layer of red glass over clear glass, which was subsequently cut or acid-etched to reveal decorative clear glass patterns, finished with attached faceted crystal prisms.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-etched or hand-cut designs, individual brass wire connectors securing the crystal drops, slight hand-blown variations, and age-appropriate wear to the base.

Place a pair symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard top to serve as a focal point that reflects natural and ambient lighting.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and mild soap with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, and clean each prism individually to prevent damaging the wire links.
