Description
This hurricane lantern brings together a hammered glass cylinder and a tall arched iron handle for a candle holder with plenty of texture. The glass carries a copper brown lustre that catches the light, while the corrugated frame adds a ribbed detail across the handle. Measuring 12cm wide, 13cm deep and 32cm high, it sits comfortably as a smaller piece and weighs around 0.864kg. The open top takes a pillar candle, and the artisanal surface diffuses candlelight softly through the glass for a warm, intimate glow.
We like this lantern on shelving, mantels and side tables where its height gives a little presence without taking over. The arched handle makes it easy to lift and reposition, so you can move it between rooms or carry it outside for a sheltered evening. The brown glass and dark iron frame work well in warm, natural interiors, sitting alongside wood, stone and layered textiles. Group it with candle holders of varying heights for a considered display, or let it stand alone as a single point of light. It also comes in a larger size if you want to build a matching pair.
The lantern is made from glass and iron, with the cylinder set into an iron base that holds it securely. The hammered finish on the glass and the corrugated texture on the frame are part of the design, so slight variations between pieces are to be expected from this handmade item, which is produced in India. To care for it, wipe the glass with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and dry it fully to keep the surface clear. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads, and trim your candle wick before lighting to reduce soot on the interior. Keep the glass away from knocks to protect the finish.
