These lamps are called "banker's lamps" or "notary's lamps" because they were very common in banks and law firms in the early 20th century.
The most famous model, the Emeralite lamp, featured a green glass shade and brass base. Its soft, glare-free light was ideal for reading and writing long documents, making it a favorite tool of notaries, lawyers and accountants.
Over time, their presence in these professional circles forged their name, which became a symbol of seriousness and administrative elegance.
Today, these lamps can be adapted to any environment, giving interiors a soft, muffled light with a touch of elegance.
