Vintage Blue Enamel Hurricane Lantern
Classic Storm Lantern | Rustic Industrial Decor | Camping & Garden Light
There’s something wonderfully reassuring about a traditional storm lantern — practical, timeless, and full of quiet character. This vintage blue enamel hurricane lantern captures that enduring charm, with its sturdy construction and beautifully worn finish that speaks of years of dependable use.
Made from pressed steel with a rich deep blue enamel coating, the lantern features the classic twin-arm frame, integrated carry handle, and protective wire-guarded glass globe. Designed to shield the flame from wind and weather, this style of lantern was widely used for camping, railway work, boating, farms, and emergency lighting throughout the mid-20th century.
Today, it makes a striking decorative piece — perfect for adding industrial, coastal, or countryside character to a shelf, mantel, garden setting, or shepherd’s hut interior.
