Rare Antique Victorian C.A. Kleemann & C.F.A. Hinrichs Double-Arm Student Lamp.
Own a textbook piece of 19th-century lighting history. This exquisite, late-Victorian double-arm "German Student Lamp" (the St. Germain model) is a dream find for serious antique collectors. This museum-quality artifact features a verified dual signature, bearing both the original German manufacturer marks and the prestigious New York importer stamps. Symmetrical double-arm configurations were luxury options in the 1870s and are significantly scarcer than single-arm versions today. This piece features a heavy, weighted brass circular base, an adjustable central vertical rod, and dual independent burner arms.
- Dual Markings: Stamped with "C.A. KLEEMANN PAT. MAR. 10 1863" on the inner chimney holder ring, and "HINRICHS" (Charles F.A. Hinrichs / New York / Sole Agent) on the structural brass frame.
-100% Unconverted Originality: Absolutely no modern electrical wires or drilled holes. It retains its pure, original gravity-fed kerosene/whale oil mechanics and the complete central draft wick assembly.
-Flawless Historic Glassware: Includes a pristine, matching set of unbroken, crack-free spherical frosted glass hurricane shades, featuring delicate, period-accurate acid-etched Victorian scroll and floral motifs.
Highly Adjustable Design: The dual independent burner arms slide smoothly along the central vertical post, allowing you to custom-adjust the height of your light source.
Late 19th Century (c. 1870s)
This lamp is in excellent, untouched antique condition. The heavy cast-brass frame remains structurally sound with no cracks, splits, or major dents. The glass shades are completely free of chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. Decades of storage have blessed the piece with a stunning, authentic aged patina. The historic tarnish and petrified fuel residue along the burner collar serve as an outstanding, undeniable badge of 19th-century authenticity.
