Bankers lamps, or Emeralite style lamps, gained popularity in the early 20th century to reduce eye strain for accountants and office workers using green glass or metal shades.

These lamps typically feature solid spun brass bases, articulated metal stems, and enamel or flashed glass shades designed for durability and directional task illumination.

Authentic pieces often exhibit heavy brass construction with natural patination, traditional toggle or turn-key switches, and weighted circular bases rather than lightweight modern equivalents.

Place the lamp on a timber or leather-topped writing desk to create a focal point that contrasts industrial metallic finishes with classic warmth.

Dust regularly with a dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes to preserve the aged patina; ensure the electrical wiring is inspected by a professional for safety.
