Description
This is a medium hurricane lantern that pairs a tapered iron base with a hand blown glass top, standing 42cm tall with a footprint of 11.5 x 11.5cm and weighing 0.915kg. The base carries a smoke gold finish, while the hammered glass cup shows a copper brown lustre. Its dappled surface and gentle sheen give the piece depth once a candle is lit inside. The glass top holds a pillar candle or tea light up to 7cm in diameter, letting the flame flicker through the textured walls.
We think this lantern suits consoles, sideboards and dining tables where a little height and glow are welcome. The narrow cone base keeps its footprint small, so it works in tight arrangements as well as open surfaces. Group it with smaller and floor versions from the same range to build a sculptural cluster of light at varying heights, or set it alongside matching table and floor lamps to tie a scheme together. The warm gold and copper tones sit well against neutral, earthy and darker interiors, and the shape reads as modern without shouting for attention.
The base is cast from iron for weight and stability, finished in a matt smoke gold tone that resists a shiny look. The upper cup is hand blown glass, so each piece carries slight variations in the hammered texture and lustre. To care for it, lift the glass away from the base and wipe the inside with a soft dry cloth to clear any wax or soot. Clean the outer glass with a barely damp cloth and buff dry to keep the lustre clear. Wipe the iron base with a dry cloth only and avoid soaking or abrasive cleaners, which can mark the finish over time.
