A STRIKING PAIR OF COBALT BLUE CUT GLASS CANDLESTICKS

This magnificent pair of cobalt blue cut-glass lustres exudes a bold, opulent presence, blending sculptural elegance with luminous colour. Each piece stands on a deeply faceted, domed base that catches and reflects light through richly hued glass, creating a mesmerising play of brilliance.

The tapering stems rise to support a finely scalloped drip pan from which cascades a stunning arrangement of precision-cut glass drops. The drops of shield form, fashioned in alternating heights, are suspended from the drip pans, their deep sapphire tones intensifying the glow of candlelight.

The lustres vivid cobalt hue lends them a regal, almost jewel-like quality, making them a striking statement in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Exemplifying 19th-century decorative glasswork at its most dramatic, this pair is a superb fusion of craftsmanship, elegance, and luminous colour.
