What is Victorian table decor?

These objects comprise ornamental and functional items placed on dining tables and sideboards during the nineteenth century. They range from small silver napkin rings to large brass candelabras. Collectors look for pieces that combine practical utility with the ornate design typical of the period, reflecting how Victorians dressed their dining rooms.

How were silver knife rests used?

Knife rests kept carving and dining knives elevated above the tablecloth between courses. This prevented food residue from soiling the linen. Craftsmen shaped them as animals, columns, or bar forms, often casting them in silver plate or solid silver during the late nineteenth century.

How do I identify a Victorian oil lamp?

Victorian oil lamps feature heavy brass, ceramic, or glass reservoirs designed to hold paraffin beneath a burner and glass chimney. Many carry registration marks or maker stamps on the metal collar. Examples often incorporate decorative elements like coloured opaque glass vessels or cast metal pedestals supporting the fuel container.

What is a glass lustre?

Glass lustres are decorative mantel or table ornaments adorned with long cut-glass pendants suspended from the rim. When lit candles stood nearby, the prisms refracted the light across the room. They appeared in pairs during the nineteenth century, often coloured in opaque white, pink, or green glass with hand-painted floral motifs.
