Very rare table lamp from the Italian company Alam. Nothing can be found about the company. Alam: It’s probably an abbreviation, but of what? Also a company named Lam exists, also from Bologna, Italy. Is it the same company or has it got anything to do with it? The label is completely different.

This lamp, or a virtually identical lamp, was sold by the German company Star-Leuchten. The one on this website is in chrome and has a glass opaline lampshade with a chrome ring, as you can see. They are clearly the same lamps. Then who is the manufacturer? Is it a German lamp, or an Italian one, or neither…

This lamp has a switch with 3 positions: only the light bulb below, only the bulb on top or both light bulbs together.
