Genuine 1917 Original Faries Verdelite Brass Desk Bankers Lamp Green Glass Shade Made in USA

A Verdelite banker's lamp is a classic type of desk lamp, traditionally characterized by its green glass shade and brass base. The green shade helps to reduce glare and provides a soothing light, making it popular for office use. "Verdelite" refers to the green color, drawing from the word "verde," which means "green" in various Romance languages.

These lamps have a timeless, vintage appeal and are often associated with libraries, law offices, and other professional settings. They are valued both for their functional lighting and their aesthetic contribution to the workplace. The rich glass shade with an angle that is easily adjusted with the side wing nut, coupled with a handsome, nicely patinated base, make this lamp very desirable.

The shade is what is referred to as "cased glass.” There is a lining of white glass on the inside of the shade to prevent the onlooker from seeing the light bulb. All you see is a rich green color, no visible light bulb, which is one of the best features of the good banker's shades. A fine example of a handsome desk lamp. Made in the 1910s by Faries Manufacturing Company in Decatur, Illinois.

17" tall, base is 7" x 7", shade is 9" x 4.75". Base is bronze over brass with original glass shade. Fully functional.

This item will be carefully packed before shipping. Shade will be removed and both the shade and lamp itself will be double-boxed. Buyer will be provided with a tracking number within three days of final purchase.

NOTE: Please don’t let my lack of history prevent you from offerding! I’m an experienced Etsy vintage seller and just felt would be a better platform to sell this particular piece. I wrap carefully and ship quickly.

ALSO NOTE: To ensure safety, antique or vintage light fixtures should always be checked by an electrician, or consider rewiring.
