{"product_id":"vintage-bankers-desk-lamp-green-metal-99683","title":"Vintage Bankers Desk Lamp, Green Metal Shade, Nickel Plated Brass — European, circa 1920s–1930s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bankers lamp was designed for a world that worked on paper by night. Its green shade was the whole point: it threw a pool of warm light onto the desk while shielding the clerk's eyes from the bare bulb — hours of ledgers without the glare. The shade pivots on its arm, so the light goes where the work is and nowhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is European, and by its construction, materials, and wear we place it in the 1920s or 1930s — an informed estimate, as it is unmarked and no maker is recorded. The half-cylinder tôle shade, in its original deep green, sits on a swan-neck arm of nickel-plated brass rising from a stepped circular base. Note where the plating has softened on the high points of the arm and base, warm brass showing faintly through the silver — the wear pattern of a lamp that spent decades being switched on, tilted, and used, not displayed. It will be completely rewired before dispatch and arrives in working, ready-to-use condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade carries age-consistent marks and small dents, the base plating an even mellow wear; nothing is hidden and the photos show the surface as it is. Whoever worked under this lamp before you kept it going. It is ready for a desk or a reading corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp is around a century old by our estimate and fully rewired for daily use. It arrives professionally packed and fully insured — we handle the paperwork and worldwide shipping. Returns are accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: to follow — please enquire\u003cbr\u003e\nNickel-plated brass; green-painted tôle shade\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: completely rewired before dispatch; delivered working and ready to use\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition; even plating wear to high points, age-consistent marks to the shade\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"US","offer_id":59081862775129,"sku":"LM-V-139","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"UK","offer_id":59081862807897,"sku":"LM-V-139","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"EU","offer_id":59081862840665,"sku":"LM-V-139","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8334458196_n7jo.jpg?v=1787565142","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-bankers-desk-lamp-green-metal-99683","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
