  The Student Lamp is a unique style of antique kerosene oil lighting having several distinctive engineered features that set it apart from other forms of Victorian lighting. Tiffany Studios, Manhatten Brass, Plume & Atwood, Bradley & Hubbard, Edward Miller, Handel, Revere, Parker and Wild & Wessel are just a few of the manufacturers of these lamps. The "Harvard" student lamp, the Mamouth, the double and single Griffin are just a few of the facinating forms available. Every type of Victorian art glass is represented in the shades and appurtances used on these lamps. Shades and chimneys were produced in all colors, cased and/or embossed patterned, satin and gloss, opalescent patterned, acid etched, Lithophane, Burmese, Mother-of-Pearl, Cut-Velvet and Leaded Stained glass. From the simple clean lines of the early Victorian models designed mainly with function in mind, to the ornate and elaborately decorated later Victorian examples manufactured to accent high style interiors, the Victorian Student lamp is appreciated by today's collectors for it's enduring beauty, craftsmanship and utility in modern homes.
