The iconic design originated in the early 20th century, famously patented as the Emeralite in 1909, and was widely used by accountants, bankers, and lawyers to reduce eye strain during long hours of ledger work.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a heavy cast brass base with an adjustable brass stem and a blown glass shade, traditionally coloured green on the outside and cased in white on the underside to reflect downward light.

Authentic vintage pieces often feature heavier cast metal bases, genuine layered cased glass shades, maker marks or patent stamps on the hardware, and braided wiring appropriate to their period of manufacture.

This piece works effectively as a functional desk light in a home office or study, adding a heritage aesthetic when paired with contemporary minimalist furniture or traditional dark wood shelving.

Maintain the brass components with a soft dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes that strip natural oxidisation, and clean the glass shade gently with mild soapy water.
