FAQs

A candlestick lustre, also known as a girandole, is a decorative candle holder fitted with cut crystal or glass prisms designed to reflect and refract candlelight. Popularised in 18th and 19th-century France, these pieces were placed on mantelpieces and sideboards to maximise light in grand interior spaces.

Traditional French lustres were constructed using cast brass, bronze, or fire-gilded metalwork paired with faceted cut glass or lead crystal drops. The metal components were often hand-chased, and the glass prisms were hung using fine wire connectors.

Authentic 19th-century examples typically feature hand-cast metal joints, natural age-related patination or oxidisation on un-gilded surfaces, and hand-cut crystal drops with subtle inclusions or hand-bent wire attachments rather than uniform modern alloy fittings.

A pair of antique lustres can be styled symmetrically on a modern mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to create balance and texture. Combining detailed brass and reflective crystal with clean-lined contemporary furniture adds visual interest through contrast.

Clean crystal drops individually using a microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and mild dish soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. The gilt-brass bases should be gently dusted with a soft dry brush, refraining from abrasive metal polishes which can strip protective gilding.
