Description
This rippled glass hurricane lantern pairs a clear glass cylinder, ribbed with fine vertical lines, with a round black base and an arched black handle that rises over the top. The ribbing softens candlelight into gentle stripes of glow, so a single flame inside looks warmer and fuller through the glass. The base sits a little wider than the cylinder, giving the lantern a settled, grounded look, while the handle lends it the familiar outline of a traditional lantern. Clear glass and plain black make an easy pairing that suits most rooms and colour schemes, from crisp white walls to deeper heritage shades.
We like it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a hall table or a deep windowsill, where it brings a soft glow to the long evenings of Christmas and winter. Set a pillar candle inside, or a flameless LED pillar candle if you prefer, and it becomes the focal point of a festive dining table or a cosy corner of the living room. Ring the base with greenery, pine cones or a few baubles and you have an easy seasonal centrepiece, and once the decorations come down it stays out happily through the rest of the year without looking out of place.
The clear glass cylinder stands on the black base, with the handle arching from one side of the rim to the other. To keep it looking its best, wipe the glass with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away, and dust the base and handle with a soft dry cloth. If you choose a real candle, stand the lantern on a stable, level surface away from curtains, foliage and anything else that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For a fuller display, place it beside other candles or lanterns along the mantelpiece, or simply let it glow alone on a hall console to welcome guests.
