Description
When the storm rolled in over Saint-Malo, the power went out all along the rue des Marins. Grand-mère simply struck a match, lit the old hurricane lamp on the dresser, and the kitchen filled with a soft golden glow. The children declared it the best night of the whole holiday, playing cards and eating crêpes until the wind finally dropped and the stars came out again.
This miniature hurricane lamp, blue with vibrant floral designs and highlighted with gold embellishments, carries the cosiness of that candlelit evening. It suits a mantel among family photographs, a side table in a reading nook, or a guest room shelf beside a jug of hydrangeas. Give it to someone who loves blue-and-white china, a friend who has just bought an old house full of character, or a collector of tiny furniture and lighting. The gold detailing catches lamplight beautifully in the evening, and the flowers keep it lively by day.
