This is a pair of late Victorian, Bohemian, flash-cut, hand-painted and gilded lustre candlesticks dating from the second half of the 19th century, c1870.
The lustres are in excellent condition for their age. This means, of course, that they show age related wear and tear consistent with some 150 years of use.
The lustres are in the white over clear colourway, the white outer layer of glass having been cut away to reveal the clear glass beneath in a classic design. The lustres have everted, dentated upper rims measuring 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. The lustre rims are decorated with ten white glass ovals each hand-painted with alternating heads of young women and bunches... of flowers. Each oval is outlined in gilt as are the upper and lower borders with gilded scrollwork in between. The long tapering stems are cut in vertical panels outlined in gilt and ending in gilded knops. The knops sit above round feet cut through with eight rounded triangular panels embellished with gilded scrollwork. The white glass on the tops of the feet are also gilded with scrollwork. The feet measure 13 cm (5.2 inches) in diameter. The lustres are 30 cm (12 inches) in height.
The droppers are of triangular spear form, and are probably the originals. There are the normal chips out of some of the cut facets of the droppers and a number are chipped to the vertical edges and to the ends. There are no cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. A couple of the brass wires which hold the droppers in place have been replaced by what look like pieces of paper clip wire. The gilding is rubbed in places particularly on the white upper surfaces of the feet.
Each lustre weighs in at 1.9 kg. (~ 4 lb. 3 oz.).
