Victorian glass lustres are ornamental candle holders featuring hanging crystal prisms that became highly fashionable during the 19th century, particularly within middle and upper-class domestic interiors.

These pieces are typically created using a cased or overlaid glass technique, where a layer of coloured glass is fused over a white or clear glass base before being hand-cut to reveal the contrasting layer underneath.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-cut facets, minor surface imperfections, hand-gilded details, and genuine hand-cut lead crystal prisms attached with original wire fittings.

They can be positioned on a mantelpiece or sideboard to introduce a pop of saturated colour, reflecting natural light through their crystal droplets to create a focal point.

Clean the glass gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and lukewarm water with mild soap, removing the crystal drops individually to wash them safely by hand to prevent damage.
