Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Darkened wire pins linking the drops: traditional hand pinning before modern machine clips.
Cast brass sconces with relief swags: typical turn-of-the-century French casting.

This large French gilt-brass table lustre candelabra dates from the early 20th century in the French chateau style. The piece combines a polished gold-coloured metal frame with clear glass ornamentation, featuring leaf scroll arms supporting six candle sconces, star-shaped bosses, and a pointed central glass finial. Cascading tiers of multi-faceted cut glass drops and beaded chains adorn the structure from the top crown down to the ornate circular base, displaying a tiny chip at the very tip of the glass finial. Measuring 71 cm high by 38 cm wide and 38 cm deep, the candelabra fits well on a sideboard top or large dining table in a traditional living room, hallway, or dining space to provide decorative lighting and reflective sparkle.

FAQs

A table lustre candelabra is a decorative lighting piece featuring branching candle holders embellished with faceted glass or crystal drops designed to catch and refract light. Popular in 18th and 19th-century European interiors, particularly in France, these items functioned as statement table centrepieces.

Traditional French table lustres feature cast brass, bronze, or chased gilt-metal bases combined with hand-cut crystal or moulded glass pendants. The glass drops are typically attached using fine wire pins to allow movement and maximum reflection.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chased metal details, slight irregularities in hand-cut glass prisms, and original wire pin attachments showing natural patina or oxidisation. Overall weight is also a key marker, as genuine brass or bronze castings and lead crystal are heavy.

A table lustre can be styled as a focal point on a contemporary dining table, a grand sideboard, or a marble fireplace mantelpiece. Pairing its detailed metallic and glass silhouette with minimal, textured backgrounds creates a balanced visual contrast.

Dust the metal base and glass drops regularly with a soft, dry brush or lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on gilt brass to preserve the original surface finish, and gently wipe glass drops using a cloth moistened with diluted isopropyl alcohol.
