Mid-Century Calpa Student Lamp – Dual Shades, 3-Way Control
This is a vintage mid-20th century floor lamp by Calpa, standing 57″ tall with twin amber swirl glass shades—each controlled independently via 3-way switches. Known for fine craftsmanship in American-made lighting, Calpa frequently produced student and floor lamps with milk-glass or swirl-glass globes set in brass hardware—an aesthetic your lamp clearly embodies.
The base is marked “Calpa,” aligning with examples cataloged in lighting collections and auctions. Age-consistent signs such as tarnish, flea-bites on the shades, and verdigris at the base reflect period charm and authenticity. Fully functional and tested, this piece brings both nostalgic character and practical flexibility to any décor.
Condition (concise, one paragraph):
In functioning order and fully tested. Shows vintage wear: a ½″ chip on one rim and base exhibits scratches, dents, oxidation, and verdigris—typical for a well-aged Calpa lamp.
Measurements:
57″ H × 18″ W
