Antique Lighting: Hurricane Shades

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Hurricane shades were meant to protect light flames from being snuffed out in high winds. Unfortunately, it takes a lot less than a little wind to do in one of these tall, thin delicate shades.

Happily, antique replacements are available through this company. Choose from a wide selection of hurricane shades, available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Shades are offered with patterns, colors, clear or frosted glass and more.

Hurricane Shades range in price from $8 to $50 (July 2006).
