A matching pair of hurricane lamps featuring tall, hand-blown clear glass shades enclosing classical-style candlesticks. The candlesticks consist of turned brass bases and capitals with mottled green marble columns.
Hurricane lamps originated in the 18th century to protect candle flames from drafts in breezy coastal regions and tropical colonial outposts. The combination of brass and marble became particularly popular during the Neoclassical revival periods of the 19th and mid-20th centuries, reflecting a desire for refined interior lighting. Today, they are prized by interior designers and collectors for adding symmetrical elegance and ambient lighting to dining tables and mantels.
