What's the name for those candle holders?

[aikiMac]

You know those handheld candle holder things people carry around in period movies, with a glass covering surrounding the candle so it won't blow out when they walk from room to room? What are they called?

I want one, but I can't find it on eBay or google.

I type in "candle holder" or "handheld candle" or something similar, and, well, it's not popping up. The closest is this:

That's the right idea except there's no glass cover to protect the candle from breeze.

Anybody know what they're called? Or better yet, anybody know where I can buy one?

You mean a Candle Lantern?

Its like a 'Hurricane Lantern' Candle holder or a Candle Lantern as Martha...I mean Apotheosis said.

Nice to see the guys discussing interior decor

Must be from a praticle use stand point.

Yeppers hurrican or storm lantern would be a couple of names.

They have a yellow and a multi coloured one as well, the multi one is a little more expensive.

Now that we know what they are, I have to ask the burning question..

Why do you want one? Run out of light bulbs?

[aikiMac]

Dude, you rock!! Ya, that'll do. The price is right.
I'm also looking for the type that has a handle on the side, similar to Aladdin's lamp, but still has the glass covering.

Something more like this?


Found it on Amazon.

[aikiMac]

Yes, yes, something like that! What's it called (so that I can do searches for it) ?

We like candles (well, my daughter and I like candles) and would like a safe way to carry them around the house from room to room.

Hope the search is fruitful

They're called Chamber Candles (used as night lights in bedrooms way back when)

Do a search on them .... you'll turn up with something like this

OH! That's what they're called then. Right on!
