FAQs

Glass lustres are ornamental candle holders featuring hanging cut-glass prisms, which gained immense popularity during the Victorian period as decorative mantelpiece centerpieces.

They are typically constructed from mould-blown or pressed glass paired with brass fittings, featuring hand-cut crystal prisms suspended by wire loops.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, aged patination on the metal components, and heavy lead crystal content rather than modern machine-pressed soda-lime glass.

Position them symmetrically on a mantelpiece or sideboard where natural or artificial light can refract through the hanging prisms to create subtle sparkle.

Gently clean the glass components using a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth while they are unlinked, taking care to avoid harsh abrasives on the aged metal frames.
