French brass Student Lamp, dating from 1850–1900.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This wonderful antique table lamp (or desk lamp) was originally designed as an oil or kerosene lamp in the 19th century.
It was known as a Student Lamp or Quinquet. It was later electrified in the 1950s and is still in perfect working order today, although we recommend having it checked by a qualified electrician.
It was designed around a rather original and unusual idea: the fuel reservoir was positioned above and on the opposite side from the flame, so that it would not cast an annoying shadow on the person using it.
The arm was, and still is, height-adjustable thanks to a small clamp that is still in working order.
It will be shipped with its distinctive bayonet-fit bulb.
WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY.
For the islands, we reserve the right to request an additional payment if shipping costs are higher.
