Lustre ~ a gentle sheen or soft glow

Lot 90 Antique and Interiors Auction (31.10.18)

One pair from over 15 sets of Lustres we have for Auction from a single owner private collection.

During the Victorian period glass bowls or candlesticks were produced and sold in pairs with attached prismatic drops of crystal or glass.  Designed to sit on a mantle piece or sideboard the prisms would reflect the light in the room.  When the sunlight caught the glass it bounced off creating small reflections on the wall.  Lustres were mainly produced in England and Bohemia (present day Czech Republic) and come in a variety of colours from clear glass to cobalt blue, peach, yellow, pink, mint green and one of the most popular colours red.  Etched and painted decoration was also popular as you can see here with the addition of portraits and foliage painted in roundals.

We are currently cataloguing for our next Antique and Interiors Auction

Catalogue will be on-line from 

Friday 26th October at 5pm

Lot 174
A selection of Pelham puppets
To be offered at auction in our General Sale Wednesday 17th October

Pelham puppets were wooden marionette English made puppets produced from 1947 by puppet maker Bob Pelham.

The company started under the name 'Wonky Toys Ltd' being the name given to Bob Pelham during his time serving in the Second World War.  He was known as "The Wonky Donkey Officer" as he made small toy donkeys.  Starting with "Waloukas" simple toys made from wood and string, Bob Pelham began creating marionettes to sell to Children.  This was new in as much as previously marionettes had been made purely for professionals.  In 1948 the business changed its name to Pelham Puppets and the rest as they say is History.  

Based in first Wiltshire then Gloucestershire the business thrived until 1986 when Bob Pelham's wife Ann finally closed the business.  The company was then given a breath of fresh air in 2008 when former employee David Leech began again producing puppets - new lines and ones emulating former styles.
