An exceptional table lamp, known as a "banker's lamp," in a vintage style from the 1970s. It is a vintage interpretation of the classic banker's lamp, with a gilded brass base and a green glass shade, typically designed for office or library desks of traditional English or New York origin, often associated with old offices and libraries. The rotating shade allows you to adjust the angle of light, ideal for illuminating specific work areas.

This type of lamp can frequently be seen in libraries and other public institutions throughout the United States. Its popularity is due to its appearance in numerous films and television series.
