Originating from the 19th century, this Victorian English mantel lustre is made from pink opalene glass accented with gilt borders, white enamel dot mouldings, and hand-painted floral enamel decorations featuring yellow, blue, and grey blossoms. The upper section terminates in a castellated rim, and clear cut-crystal prism drops hang from wire hardware attached below. Some of the original crystal spears have been replaced over time. Measuring 38 cm high, 18 cm wide, and 18 cm deep, the object sits atop a turned circular base. Today, a piece of this type makes an appropriate display on a mantelpiece or serves as a table centrepiece when filled with fresh flowers in a domestic setting.

FAQs

A glass lustre is a decorative vessel or candle holder featuring a flared or castellated rim, designed with hanging cut-crystal prisms or drops along its stem to refract light across a room.

Victorian glass lustres were typically constructed from blown or pressed glass, often using opalene or opaque coloured glass decorated with hand-applied enamel floral motifs, gilt accents, and suspended cut lead crystal prisms.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually exhibit slight variations in hand-painted details, pontil marks on the base, surface wear to gilding, and original crystal prisms attached with hand-twisted wire hooks.

Display a glass lustre on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or dining sideboard where ambient light can catch the faceted glass drops and illuminate the hand-painted details.

Dust the glass body gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid lifting delicate enamel or gilding, and clean individual crystal drops carefully using a mild soapy water solution on a damp cloth.
