 Manhatten Brass Double Post Student Lamp with Cranberry Shades

A very pristine Double Post Student Lamp by Manhattan Brass Company which was widely known for their quality and success in building a broad and widely sought product line.  Their double lamps, both hanging and table mounted were very popular in their oil burning days as they are now when one can find them.  They have survived without peer today because of the quality and design.

This is a superb example of a Double Posted Student Lamp, a form one finds less often than the others.  The lamps can be adjusted vertically on the frame by means of a set screw on each.  The shades are "cased" dark red outside and white inside giving a beautiful warm red when lit.  The shades are replacements, probably circa 1930 and to give a more decorative look than the original white ones.  The electrical conversion was neatly done without any damage to the lamp and probably at the time of the new shades.  All in all a very exceptional lamp.
