A pair of Victorian salmon-pink cased opaline glass mantle lustres. Each lustre features a flared bowl with a scalloped rim, cased with an opaque white glass interior. The exterior is hand-painted with botanical sprays, including large blue daisy-like flowers and clusters of white blossoms, interspersed with green and yellow foliage and gilded tendrils. The bowls are supported by a rounded collar from which clear glass faceted prisms are suspended, atop a baluster-form stem and a wide circular base. The rims are finished with a scalloped edge highlighted in gilt.
