Pair of Tall Clear Glass Hurricane Shades, English circa 1900
About the Item
This handsome pair of tall hurricane glass shades dates to circa 1900 and was made in England. Handblown in clear glass, each piece features the subtle variations and tiny air bubbles that naturally occur in early glass production, offering charm and authenticity. The curvaceous silhouette, with gently flared rims and swelling midsections, lends itself beautifully to both traditional and transitional interiors.
These versatile hurricanes were originally designed to shelter candlelight from drafts, making them ideal companions for candlesticks, wall sconces, or lantern bases. Today, they can be paired with antique brass holders, integrated into custom lighting designs, or simply used on a mantelpiece or dining table to evoke ambient glow and vintage refinement. Their scale—tall and commanding without being bulky—makes them especially well-suited for entryways or console displays where height is needed.
The glass is in good condition, showing only minor signs of age and wear. Their timeless form and enduring clarity make this pair a practical and decorative addition to a range of interior settings.

Pair of English Country House Brass Wall Lanterns with Glass Doors, circa 1900
Located in Atlanta, GA
A charming pair of English wall lanterns, crafted around 1900, with a timeless presence that fits seamlessly into both classic and transitional interiors. Each lantern is made from brass with a dark patinated finish that evokes the subtle grandeur of the English Country House tradition. The design features a pitched roof, a turned finial, and a glass-fronted door that opens to reveal a single light. The cream-toned interior reflects the light beautifully while maintaining a soft, diffused glow.
Recently rewired for use in the United States, the fixtures are ready for immediate installation. The scale is modest and well-suited for flanking a fireplace, lighting a hallway, or framing a doorway—indoors or out, provided they are placed in a covered area. Their restrained form and historic finish lend authenticity and warmth to both traditional and contemporary spaces.
A handsome and practical pair for those drawn to the understated elegance of antique English lighting.
