Pair of Convertible Vintage Birks Regency Plate Glass Hurricane Lamps – Circa 1950

1940 - 1960
Description

Pair of Vintage Birks Regency Plate Glass Hurricane Lamps with removable clear glass hurricane shades. Each stand has a broad, weighted foot with a fluted gadroon-style border that gives a classic, architectural profile.

The glass hurricanes are lightly engraved with a flowing vine and grape motif, adding gentle decoration without obscuring the light. These hurricane lamps can be converted to low candlesticks by removing the hurricane shades. The bases are marked ‘Birks Regency Plate’ – circa 1950.

* Used together, they create a composed focal point for dinners, celebrations, and winter evenings at home.

Measurements:

Height: 10" (approx. 25.5cm)

Diameter of base: 5" (approx. 12.5cm)

Total weight: 1460g

In good condition – The silver plate shows only light surface wear consistent with age and gentle handling. There are no chips or cracks to the glass.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the eighteenth century, hurricane lamps feature a protective glass shade designed to shield a candle flame from air currents. Convertible versions feature a removable glass shade, allowing the base to function as a standalone candlestick holder.

Vintage hurricane lamps typically combine electroplated silver or sterling silver bases with blown or etched clear glass shades, often embellished with foliate or geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces generally feature manufacturer stamps or electroplate silver marks on the underside of the base. Construction features such as pierced metal collars, gadrooned base borders, and hand-etched glass patterns are also key indicators of period production.

Position a pair symmetrically on a dining table, console, or mantelpiece to establish balanced proportion. The reflective silver finish and clear glass shades integrate easily with both traditional and contemporary tableware.

Clean the removable glass shades using warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Treat the silver-plated bases with a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may wear down the silver plating.
