The Astral banker’s desk lamp from the 1940s exemplifies a fusion of Art Deco elegance and industrial clarity. Manufactured in Austria, it features a robust cast iron base and a steel, articulated stem with an adjustable mechanism. The large, curved metal shade displays a vivid, glossy forest green finish, whose sheen highlights subtle surface irregularities and an attractive patina. Both base and shade are finished in matching green, with slight wear on edges and visible joints and screws, accentuating a handcrafted authenticity. The hinge system allows the shade angle to be easily adjusted, while the period-appropriate brown twisted fabric cord adds a touch of historical consistency. Overall, the lamp has been carefully restored, retaining authentic details; it shows only minimal signs of use with no significant damage or alterations. This model tells the story of a time when functionality took on a refined, authoritative form: the green shade and solid base evoke the atmosphere of offices where light illuminated paperwork and steel components conveyed a sense of enduring trust. The lamp carries the solemnity of archival interiors, where every detail matters—from the metallic sheen to the exposed fixings. The late 1940
