Product Details

A truly striking pair of antique Bohemian ruby red glass mantel lustres, featuring richly saturated cranberry-ruby glass, elegant scalloped rims, hand-applied enamel decoration, and cascading crystal prisms that create a dazzling display of reflected light. Originally designed for placement on Victorian mantels and sideboards, lustres were among the most fashionable decorative objects of the 19th century. Their purpose was both beautiful and practical—the hanging prisms captured and amplified candlelight, filling a room with sparkle and warmth. The deep ruby coloration glows beautifully in daylight and becomes especially dramatic when illuminated by candles or lamplight. These are the kinds of pieces that instantly elevate a space, whether styled in a Victorian parlor, English country house, Ralph Lauren-inspired interior, or grand millennial setting.
