Description
This is a hurricane lantern that pairs a smoked hammered glass insert with an angular iron surround. The glass carries a lustre finish that softens candlelight into a gentle, dappled glow, while the openwork frame wears a matt gold coat in a structured grid pattern. It measures 17cm wide by 17cm deep and stands 21.5cm tall, giving it enough height to hold a pillar candle securely inside. Weighing around 1.315kg, it sits steadily on a table or shelf and combines glass and iron for a considered mix of texture and form.
We like this lantern in living rooms, on dining tables and along mantelpieces where a warm point of light adds atmosphere after dark. The gold tone works well against neutral, cream and darker interiors, and the geometric frame brings an architectural note to more decorative schemes. Style it on its own as a centrepiece, or group two or three at varying heights for a fuller display. It also suits hallway consoles, sideboards and windowsills, and pairs neatly with vases, trays and other metallic pieces from our range. The dappled glass makes it just as pleasant unlit, catching daylight during the day.
The insert is hammered lustre glass, set within an iron frame finished in a matt gold coat. The cut-out grid design layers over the glass to add depth, and the smooth base keeps it stable in use. Made in India, it is built to hold pillar or tealight candles inside the glass. To care for it, wipe the metal frame with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass with a slightly damp cloth, then dry fully. Keep it away from prolonged moisture to protect the gold coat, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
