Description
A pair of 19th-century Victorian cased glass lustres of Bohemian origin. The pieces are constructed from emerald green glass overlaid with white glass panels. The scalloped top rims and flared bases are decorated with hand-painted polychrome enamel medallions. Each lustre is suspended with a set of clear cut-crystal prisms, each comprising an octagonal jewel and a long, faceted double-drop pendant. The interior of the bowls and the underside of the bases are finished in emerald green glass. The underside of each base features a polished pontil mark. No maker marks are visible. 12″ H x 5 1/2″ diameter.
Condition report:
One lustre is missing a crystal prism; the piece is detached but present with the lot. The detached prism is severely damaged. Several crystal prisms show damage including deep chips and minor flea bites. There is visible wear to the gilding, particularly along the top scalloped edges and the outer rim of the bases. The enamel painting remains largely intact and vibrant. Metal wire connectors show oxidation and some exhibit slight bending.
