refined matched pair of Victorian mantle lusters in luminous blue opaline glass, likely English, mid-19th century. Each stands approximately 14 inches tall and features a scalloped crown with hand-painted enamel florals and gilt detailing, raised beaded accents, and suspended original cut glass prisms that catch and refract light beautifully. Traditionally displayed on mantelpieces and pier tables, lusters such as these were prized for their decorative sparkle by candlelight. An elegant and increasingly scarce survivor pair, offering both architectural presence and romantic period charm.
