Brass Desk/Banker's Lamp w/ Double Adjustment and Art Glass Shade, ca. 1910

About the Item

This lamp is both handsome and very practical. It has 2 knuckles up near the top and one near the bottom where you can easily adjust the height and width of the lamp. The brass base is weighted at the bottom and is very stabile. It is nicely factory patinated in a warm brown color. The shade has an unusual shape and a pebbly texture on the outside, the inside is smooth. There are no cracks or chips to the shade and the base is likewise in super condition. This lamp was truly taken case of over the years. Emeralite made many lamps like this and on occasion they incorporated an unusual shade as opposed to the standard green colored glass. It is however unsigned. A very nice lamp for a desk, or any other area that needs light. Our measurements of the lamp were taken with it as shown in our primary photograph.

  • Banker's/ Desk Lamp by "Pittsburgh Lamp Co." Reverse Painted Shade, ca. 1920's
    By Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company
    Located in Petaluma, CA
    This beautiful little lamp can be used as a desk lamp by just adjusting the lower knuckle to the highest point, which we did for our measurement, or you can lower it with that same knuckle. You can change the angle of the shade with the 2nd knuckle. The beauty is in the lovely painted scene on the shade and the rich gilt patina on the base, which is highlighted with red accent. This really is a little gem. Very high quality and guaranteed to be made by the Pittsburgh Lamp Co. We've sold enough of their lamps to recognize their work. So much more fun than the usual green shade bankers lamp...
