Bronze Hurricane Windlight – 1950s

A striking 1950s bronze hurricane windlight, crafted in a heavy, industrial, premium quality typical of the post-war era, when decorative objects were still built to last a lifetime. The combination of solid cast bronze and hand-blown glass makes this a refined yet robust interior piece with timeless appeal.

In the 1950s, bronze hurricane lamps were popular in European interiors influenced by Neoclassical Revival and early Hollywood Regency, merging classical shapes with mid-century sophistication. Mouth-blown glass shades like this one were designed to soften candlelight while protecting the flame from drafts—often finished with a protective metal or bronze ring to prevent rim damage and add a luxurious visual accent.
