This pair of late nineteenth century Victorian ruby glass mantel lustres is made from ruby red glass with clear cut-crystal prisms, gold leaf, and enamel. The decorative elements include hand-painted floral enamel patterns, gilding, scalloped rims, and a double row of six well-cut clear glass pendant spears suspended from round pedestal bases. Some rubbing is visible on the surface, though the enamelling and gilding remain generally in good condition. Each lustre measures 36 cm high, 17 cm wide, and 17 cm deep. They function well as decorative accessories placed on a mantelpiece in a living room or dining room interior today.

FAQs

Glass lustres are decorative 19th-century vessels or candleholders lined with hanging cut-glass crystal prisms designed to refract and scatter light across a room.

Ruby glass was produced by introducing gold chloride into molten glass to achieve a deep red hue, frequently accented with hand-painted enamel patterns, gold leaf gilding, and suspended lead crystal prisms.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-blown features such as smoothed pontil scars, minor hand-crafted variations in glass thickness, individual hand-cut crystal drops, and hand-applied enamel decoration.

These decorative glass statement pieces are suited for symmetrical placement on a fireplace mantelpiece, console, or sideboard top, adding rich colour and historical depth to modern interiors.

Dust the glass bodies gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to protect enamel and gilt detailing, while wiping individual crystal drops separately with lukewarm soapy water.
