Pair of 19th Century English Etched Glass Hurricanes with Foliate Medallions

About the Item

This pair of 19th-century English glass hurricanes features delicately etched decoration with symmetrical foliate medallions, cartouches, and scrolling borderwork. Each shade presents an inverted hourglass silhouette that flares gently at the top and base, offering a classic form ideal for mantelpieces, console tables, or traditional hurricane lamp fittings. The etched design is crisply executed, with oval-shaped reserves framed by arabesques and lace-like patterns. The medallions appear on opposing sides and are surrounded by delicate borders and patterned flourishes that reflect the high level of skill in Victorian-era glassmaking. The clear glass body allows candlelight or lamplight to diffuse gently through the etched surface, creating a soft, atmospheric glow. Equally suited for display or functional use, these shades retain their original edge cuts and consistent form, with no visible damage to the rims or bases. Their timeless elegance and decorative versatility make them a fine addition to English or country house-style interiors.
