Bankers Table Lamps

A traditional banker's lamp conjures up images of rich oak paneling, thick rugs to muffle sound, and luxurious leather furniture. And on the desk, there is the iconic kelly green-shaded lamp known as a banker's lamp. 

Synonymous with banks and scholarly environments such as libraries or classrooms, a classic bankers lamp is a brass desk lamp with a rectangular kelly green or emerald green glass shade. 

The green glass allows the light to shine through and it is easy on the eyes according to purists. Perfect for task lighting at a desk, the first banker's lamp was put to use in 1909.
