Replacement Glass Prisms

Q: Years ago my mother gave me a pair of heavy antique bronze candlesticks. One of them is decorated with four clear hanging glass prisms. The second matching candlestick is missing the prisms, but has hooks to hang them. How can I find replacement prisms?

A: There are suppliers of glass prisms in the United States. We list some in the free directory on our website, Kovels.com. Just go to our home page and search for the word “prisms.” You can also do an Internet search for “replacement glass prisms.” You will want to measure the length of your prisms and examine their cutting design to be sure you buy new ones that closely match your old ones.
