Lustres (Люстры) or Chandeliers.
Four such lustres existed at Ostankino. Three of these lustres appeared
on the stage (these were NOT like the main chandelier that could be
drawn towards the ceiling, used like a primitive spot-light). These
three lustres had candles and guilding (as seen), but no crystal girandole.
The fourth lustre didn't use candles, just the reflective power of the
guilding. This fourth lustre was used above the vauxhall (dance hall)
theatre parterre. 1
