Ribbed Glass Bronzed Iron Hurricane Lantern – Brown

This is a small hurricane lantern that sets a ribbed glass cylinder within an open bronzed iron frame. The glass carries a warm copper-brown lustre, catching light across its textured surface, while the iron cradle in a dark, gilded bronze finish holds it in place with three curved uprights. It measures 13.5cm wide by 13.5cm deep and stands 18.5cm tall, giving it a compact footprint that suits smaller surfaces. The open top lets you drop in a pillar candle or tealight so the flame throws a soft, atmospheric glow through the ribbed sides.

We think this lantern works well on a mantelpiece, sideboard or dining table, where the interplay of warm brown glass and matt black iron adds a grounded, tactile note. Group it with taller candle holders for a layered centrepiece, or stand it alone on a shelf or windowsill. The bronzed tones sit comfortably alongside natural wood, stoneware and darker metal accents, making it an easy fit for both modern and more traditional rooms. Its modest height keeps sightlines clear across a table, so it can hold its place through a meal.

The hurricane is built from ribbed glass paired with a smooth iron frame, made in India. The glass gives the piece its rippled texture and coloured finish, while the iron provides a steady, weighted base at 0.739kg. To care for it, wipe the glass with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to keep the surface clear, and buff the iron gently to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish, and let the glass cool fully before handling after a candle has burned. Trim wicks to reduce soot.
