Colonial Prism also known as a 3-Point Spear, Pointed Cut Bar Prism, or Arrowhead Prisms.
Emerging in 19th-century American and European lighting design, colonial prisms became one of the most recognizable and enduring styles for traditional chandeliers, mantel lusters, and wall sconces. Defined by a long, flat back and a heavy, central triangular ridge (spine) that tapers into a pointed triangular apex at the bottom, these prisms were designed to maximize directional refraction.
Their thick, solid cut structure reflects bold, sharp lines of light. They are traditionally suspended beneath candle cups, or bobeches, and along the outer rings of classic American Colonial, Victorian, and Revival-style fixtures.
