A matching set of two "Claudia" hurricane candle lanterns in brass with amber glass tops — a classic piece of Scandinavian Modern design from the 1960s, attributed to the Swedish tradition of decorative brass and glass craftsmanship.
The Claudia lantern is distinguished by its inner spiral column, which draws the candlelight upward and creates a warm, diffused glow through the amber glass. The combination of patinated brass and hand-pressed amber glass gives each piece a rich, tactile quality. An LED candle can also be used in place of a traditional candle.
The tags on this listing reference Hans Agne Jakobsson — a highly regarded Swedish lighting designer known for exactly this style of brass and glass lantern work. If confirmed, this attribution would add significant collector value.
