Tapered Iron Hammered Glass Floor Lantern – Gold

This is a tall floor-standing lantern that pairs a slim tapered iron base in a smoke gold finish with a large hand blown glass vessel. The glass carries a copper brown lustre and a lightly hammered surface that softens the light passing through it. Standing 80cm high on a 17cm square footprint, it holds a single pillar candle or grouped tea lights up to 7cm in diameter. Weighing 3.33kg, it feels grounded and steady on hard floors and hearths. The combination of matt metal and glowing glass gives it a warm, sculptural presence.

We think this piece works well beside a fireplace, in an entrance hall or flanking a doorway where its height draws the eye upward. Position a pair either side of a hearth or console for symmetry, or set one alone as a floor accent in a reading corner. It sits comfortably within warm neutral, bronze and earthy schemes, and looks striking against darker walls that let the copper glass glow. For a layered look, group it with smaller matching hurricanes and floor lamps to build height across a room. Lit or unlit, it holds its own as a decorative feature.

The base is made from iron finished in a smoke gold tone, giving it weight and stability. The glass vessel is hand blown, so slight variations in the lustre and hammered texture are part of its handmade character. Made in India, each piece carries small differences that make it individual. To care for it, dust the metal with a soft dry cloth and wipe the glass gently with a lightly damp cloth, then dry. Avoid harsh cleaners that may dull the finish. Always trim wicks and never leave a burning candle unattended.
