Description from the seller

Title: Classic "Banker's Lamp" with green glass shade and a polished brass base.
Author/School: Anonymous, European manufacture (possibly Spanish, Italian or German), 1970s or a faithful later reproduction. The iconic design was originally patented under the Emeralite brand in the early 20th century.
Technical and Support: Heavy base and brass stem with a bright gold finish. The curved shade is green glass, designed to direct the light downward onto the desk. It features a classic pull-chain switch, a functional detail that enhances its vintage character.
Topic: Functional and decorative lighting for an office, library, or study room. It became popular in banks and offices due to the belief that green glass reduces visual fatigue when working with documents.
Measures

Condition: The piece is in generally good vintage condition, with signs of use and wear typical for its age. The brass may show a natural patina or light surface marks. The electrical system works correctly. It is recommended to review the high-resolution photographs for a detailed assessment.
Additional Details: This is an iconic and timeless piece, highly sought after by collectors and lovers of classic design. It adds a touch of distinction and functionality to any room.
