Crystal and cut glass lighting is defined by its ability to refract light and add decorative brilliance to a space. Common in chandeliers, wall sconces, and centrepiece fittings, this type of lighting became especially popular in late Victorian and Edwardian interiors.
Leading producers such as F. C. Osler set the benchmark for English glassmaking during the 19th century, supplying elaborate cut glass chandeliers to hotels, civic buildings, and royal commissions. Osler’s work remains highly collectable and often features polished brass frames and three-arm chandeliers. These fittings suit formal dining rooms, entrance halls, and restoration projects seeking traditional grandeur.
