'''Hurricane lamp''' is a lamp that is designed to protect the flame from drafts or winds. Originally it was an oil burning lamp with a glass chimney, but today it can be any lamp or even a candle including an electric lamp where the flame or light bulb is protected or enclosed by glass. |
|||
Glass chimneys can come in a wide assortment of sizes, shapes, frostings or clear, etchings and decorations as well as colors. There is one popular version, called "[[Gone with the Wind|Gone With The Wind Lamp]]", named after the Academy Award winning movie. It utilizes the glass chimney enclosure as well as the additional decorative glass top which is often hand painted. |
|||
Authentic antique hurricane lamps are highly sought after and very collectible. They commonly bring prices that range into the many hundreds of dollars and up. |
