This is a vintage brass and wood double hurricane lamp, also commonly referred to as a candelabra lamp or student lamp.

These pieces often feature a Colonial or Early American style, and some may have been originally designed as oil lamps that were later electrified.

The lamp features a central turned wood column and base, a brass double-arm structure, and two clear glass hurricane shades (or "globes").

While similar items were originally oil or candle holders, many found today have been converted to electric lamps for modern use.

The combination of natural wood and aged brass gives it a classic, timeless appearance that fits well with traditional, farmhouse, or cottagecore interiors.

Candelabras, particularly those with hurricane shades, have a long history as decorative and functional lighting fixtures. Originally designed to hold multiple candles, they provided greater
illumination than single candlesticks and were often used in formal settings. The addition of hurricane shades, typically made of glass, served to protect the flame from drafts, making them more practical for use in various environments.

This particular candelabra combines wood and brass, materials commonly used in decorative arts from the late 19th through the mid-20th centuries. The wooden pedestal likely represents a turn-of-the-century aesthetic, while the brass arms and detailing suggest a more Art Deco or mid-century modern influence, depending on the specific craftsmanship. Such pieces were popular as table centerpieces or accent lighting in homes.
