What Is a Hurricane Candle Holder?
A hurricane candle holder is a tall candlestick with a protective glass shade that shields the flame from drafts while amplifying light through the transparent enclosure. The design originated in the 18th century to prevent candles from extinguishing in windy conditions, and today's versions combine the functional chimney effect with decorative glass work. Hurricane candle holders work best with pillar candles that fit securely within the glass cylinder or chamber.
What You Get With the Wildwood Hurricane Candleholder
- Solid Cast Brass Base -- The square pedestal foundation weighs 16 pounds, ensuring stability on tables and mantels without tipping.
- Hand-Cut Crystal Glass -- The clear patterned glass shade refracts candlelight into prismatic patterns across walls and ceilings.
- Antique Patina Finish -- The gold finish develops natural variation over the ornate brass, lending each piece unique character.
- Flared Top Design -- The 8-inch opening accommodates pillar candles up to 3 inches in diameter while preventing wax overflow.
- 25-Inch Height -- The tall profile creates vertical drama on dining tables and fireplace mantels without obstructing sightlines.
How Do You Style Candle Holders on a Dining Table?
Position the hurricane candleholder as a centerpiece on your dining table, flanked by smaller taper candle holders for layered height, or pair it with decorative objects like ceramic bowls and marble trays to create textural contrast. The gold finish complements brass accessories in modern and traditional interiors alike, while the hand-cut crystal echoes the sparkle of glassware and luxury candles throughout the room.
