Hammered Glass Arched Handle Hurricane Lantern – Brown

This is a tall hurricane lantern that holds a pillar candle within a hammered glass cylinder. The glass carries a copper-brown lustre and a textured surface that scatters candlelight softly as it flickers. An arched, corrugated iron handle rises above the glass, framing it and giving you an easy way to lift or carry the piece. It measures 12cm wide, 13cm deep and 42cm tall, and weighs a little over 1kg, so it stays steady on a flat surface while remaining portable. The gilded finish on the frame adds a warm tone that sits well against the brown glass.

We think this lantern suits a console table, a dining table centre or a spot on the hearth, where the tall shape draws the eye upward and the candlelight adds atmosphere after dark. It works in both relaxed and more refined rooms, pairing with natural materials like wood and stone as well as darker metal accents. Group it with a shorter version for layered height, or let it stand alone as a single focal point. The arched handle also lets you hang it from a sturdy hook if you prefer a suspended look.

The lantern is made from glass and iron. The cylinder is hammered glass with a corrugated frame, and the base plate holds the candle in place. The handle is formed from twisted iron for strength across its span. Made in India, each piece carries small variations in the hammered texture, which is part of the handmade character. To care for it, wipe the glass with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and dry it fully. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the metal. Trim candle wicks before lighting and never leave a burning candle unattended.
