Blue glass lustres

Circa 1860

Lanyon Homestead

Lanyon Homestead
Tharwa, Australia

A pair of blue glass lustres with ten prisms of glass hanging from each. Candlesticks would have been placed in the lustres which were designed to capture and enhance light. The long flat cuts of the glass maximized the production of the light while the smaller shapes helped the lustres to hang and move more easily.
