Banker lamp
A banker's lamp (from the English Banker's Lamp ), and banker lamp called, is a lamp with a design from the period of Art Deco for precursors from the Belle Epoque originates in the 1920s and 1930s.
The original model was designed and patented in the USA by Harrison D. McFaddin and produced from 1909 under the name Emeralite ( suitcase word from Emerald for emerald and Lite , modification of Light for light). It initially found widespread use in libraries, courts, law firms, banks and business offices. As a result, she can still be seen frequently in American-made films to this day. There are now many replicas that take up the design.
Typically, the Banker's lamp consists of a brass base with a fabric-covered power cord and a green swivel shade. In the original, the glass of the shade consists of two layers: colored outside, white inside. This means that the lamp emits a subdued, unobtrusive light to the outside, while the reading template is sufficiently illuminated with white light.
