FAQs

Glass capitals and bobeches are specialized lighting components positioned at the base of candle nozzles or light sockets on sconces and chandeliers. Produced extensively in Bohemia during the nineteenth century, these pieces feature ruby-stained or flash-cut glass embellished with intricate etching and gilded detailing.

These items were crafted by applying a thin layer of copper- or gold-infused ruby glass over clear glass, a technique known as flashing or staining. Craftsmen then etched patterns through the coloured layer to reveal the clear glass beneath, finishing the design with hand-painted gold leaf firing.

Authentic pieces typically display slight variations in glass thickness, hand-cut scallops or facets, and age-consistent wear to the gilt rims. The etching often shows precise, hand-worked detail rather than modern uniform acid-etching.

Beyond restoring period lighting fixtures, loose glass capitals and bobeches are often displayed in decorative clusters on trays, shelves, or mantelpieces to catch natural light and highlight the rich colour contrasting with gilding.

Clean these components using a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap, avoiding abrasive sponges or chemical cleaners that could strip the delicate hand-applied gilding or rub off surface staining.
