  • StyleVictorian
  • MaterialRuby Glass, Cut Glass, Enamel, Gilt
  • ColourRuby Red
  • MotifsCut glass drops, Hand-painted enamel floral detail, Scalloped rim, Turned pedestal base
  • SizeH 36.5 cm (14 in) x W 17.5 cm (7 in) x D 17.5 cm (7 in)

This pair of Victorian mantel lustres stands on a turned pedestal base supporting a wide circular body and a scalloped rim. Both items utilise ruby red glass, clear cut glass, enamel, and gilt, with hand-painted enamel floral motifs around the upper borders and double rows of suspended clear cut-glass prism drops totalling thirty-two pieces across the pair. The rich ruby red of the glass contrasts with the white and blue enamel flowers and the golden linear gilt patterns beneath the rims, while the clear glass prisms hang from looped hardware fixed around the upper circumference. Each lustre measures 36.5 cm high, 17.5 cm wide, and 17.5 cm deep. Place this pair upon a mantelpiece in a traditional living room or dining room to display them as decorative mantel ornaments. They sit securely on any flat surface, catching the light through their hanging glass prisms while adding period character to a tabletop or display shelf.

FAQs

Victorian glass lustres are decorative glass candleholders or vases produced during the nineteenth century, characterized by hanging cut-crystal prisms or drops designed to catch and refract candlelight.

These items were predominantly crafted from coloured glasssuch as ruby, cranberry, or emeraldoften featuring hand-painted enamel decoration, gilding, and clear cut-lead crystal prisms.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-blown glass features such as pontil marks on the base, hand-painted enamel or gold leaf detail showing age-appropriate wear, and heavy cut-crystal drops attached via wire hooks.

Lustres are best displayed symmetrically as a pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard where daylight or artificial lighting can strike the crystal prisms.

Clean the glass body using a soft, damp cloth and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive materials that could damage gilding or enamel. Prisms should be removed individually and wiped clean with a lint-free microfibre cloth.
