A mantle lustre is a decorative glass or porcelain vase adorned with hanging crystal pendants designed to sit on a fireplace shelf. These pieces caught and multiplied the light from candles while adding decorative colour to the room.

How do I date brass candlesticks?

Dating involves examining the manufacturing technique, base construction, and assembly methods used by the metalworker. Earlier examples often feature seamed construction and push-up ejector mechanisms, whereas later Victorian versions lean towards heavier cast baluster forms.

What is a garniture set?

A garniture set is a matching group of ornamental objects meant to be displayed together on a mantle piece. They commonly include a central clock flanked by paired candelabra or vases to create visual symmetry.
