Crushed Acorn Student
Lamp
-
-
By Bradley & Hubbard
Signed on Wick Adjusting Knobs.
All original in oil, in excellent
condition.
-
As found: Lamp is fairly clean but burner
is stained from use. Has a nice brushed
or satin appearance, one of the many
different finishes that B&H offered.
-
At the turn of the 20th Century the oil
lamp business was booming and the big
manufacturers were scrambling for a larger share of the market. Since none of
them could produce more light, they focused on style to attract
additional sales.
-
There was a definite shift from
traditional to elegance, thus the birth
of the "Crushed Acorn" design.
-
An authentic emerald green cased
tam-o-shanter shade complements this
impressive lamp.

Shade has one small
scratch (See
additional photo.)
