What is a student lamp?
1 Answer

It is a lamp that has a central post supporting an easy-to-fill detachable fuel tank and an adjustable-height arm holding a kerosene burner with a wick topped by a decorative glass shade and chimney. A collection of vintage and modern student lamps is available on 1stDibs.
