FAQs

Ormolu candlesticks with lustres are gilt-bronze candle holders decorated with hanging glass or crystal prism droplets. Originating in 18th and 19th-century Europe, the reflective metal and facets of the crystal lustres were designed to amplify and refract light across a room.

These lighting fixtures were traditionally constructed using cast bronze or brass, which was gilding processed (ormolu) to create a bright gold finish. The suspended lustres were crafted from cut lead glass or crystal attached via thin wire hooks.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast metal construction, finely hand-chased decorative surface details, and natural oxidisation or gentle wear to the gilding in recessed areas. The crystal droplets are often slightly irregular due to historic hand-cutting methods.

Place a symmetrical pair on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to frame a central mirror or artwork. The metallic finish and cut glass contrast well against clean modern surfaces or rich paint colours.

Dust the metal regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or metal polishes that can strip the delicate gilding. Individual crystal drops can be removed carefully and wiped with a damp cloth diluted with mild soapy water.
