An 'Emeralite' Banker's Type Desk Lamp by Mg Mcfaddon & Co. Of New York

1900 - 1920
Sold by Culvertons
Description

Original desk lamps, especially named examples from this period, are becoming harder and harder to find. Emeralite's were the trading name given (an amalgamation of emerald & light) to the New York based inventor Harrison D McFaddin. His invention in 1909 became a very popular design in America and Europe. This lovely Early 20th Century example, with its green and shaped glass shade, still retains nearly all it's original brass plated finish - the small areas of it's copper base that do shine through, primarily at the points of adjustment, are a pleasing addition and a reliable indicator of its age. This bankers type lamp has been re-electrified and we have had the wiring safety checked. We have also sensitively polished it's surface by hand so as not to remove its original plating and charm - from time to time you may want to do the same.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
