Vintage Brass Double Student Lamp – Hobnail Milk Glass Shades, 3-Way Switch
Charming vintage double student lamp featuring two removable white hobnail milk glass shades with ruffled rims and matching clear glass chimneys. Each light operates independently, with its own switch and an integrated 3-way master control. The dual arms swivel smoothly on the brass base, offering directional lighting and versatility. A felted bottom protects display surfaces.
This design reflects the mid-20th-century revival of classic “student” or “library” lamps, echoing earlier Victorian oil models but updated for electric use. Similar examples appear in mid-century lighting catalogs and collector listings by makers such as Stiffel and Fenton. The textured hobnail milk glass shades—beloved for their soft diffused glow—combine beautifully with the polished brass finish for a timeless cottage-meets-heritage look. A fully functional piece of lighting history, ideal for study, living room, or period décor settings.
