This pair of Victorian brass lustres with storm shades stands against a vibrant red backdrop on a draped fabric surface. Each piece incorporates a brass pedestal base supporting a central column, crowned by a collar fitted with hanging clear cut glass crystal prisms and topped with an etched glass storm shade featuring gilt detailing and a fluted rim. The materials comprise polished brass and clear crystal glass, displaying metallic golden and transparent hues. Measuring 63 cm in height, these decorative objects serve as striking mantelpiece ornaments in a formal living room, dining area or hallway today, providing an elegant focal point on a mantel, side table or console.

FAQs

Lustres are decorative candlestick holders designed with hanging glass prisms that refract light, while storm shades are tall glass chimneys positioned around candles to protect the flame from drafts.

Traditional lustres feature cast brass or bronze bases paired with lead crystal or glass drops and hand-etched or blown glass hurricane shades.

Authentic Victorian pieces typically show natural oxidisation on the brass surfaces, minor variations in hand-cut glass prisms, and etched gilt details on the glass storm shades.

These lighting accents can be arranged symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, a hallway console, or a dining room sideboard to add structural verticality and classic texture.

Dust glass prisms individually with a soft microfiber cloth and wash shades in warm soapy water, taking care not to scrub brass components with harsh abrasives that remove natural patina.
