Trellis Banker's Table Lamp Green Glass Shade - Polished Brass

The Trellis is a banker's-style table lamp built around a polished brass frame with a green cased glass shade. The shade is a horizontal half-cylinder of blown glass with a green outer layer and translucent inner, casting a warm downward pool of light onto a desk surface while the brass reflects ambient glow upward. A single E27 bulb (sold separately) sits inside the shade, accessed by lifting the glass from its brass support brackets.

Designed for desks, side tables and home office workstations, the Trellis provides focused task light where overhead fittings would create glare on screens or books. The 260mm-wide circular brass base gives stability on narrow desks and console tables without dominating the footprint. The weighted base keeps the lamp upright when the shade is angled or adjusted during use. The polished brass finish works across traditional libraries, period restorations, and contemporary interiors pairing warm metals with darker woods or leather.

The green glass shade references early 20th-century banker's lamps found in American and European offices, where the green tint reduced eye strain during extended reading under incandescent light. The cased construction (green outer glass fused over clear inner glass during blowing) gives depth to the colour and prevents the green from appearing flat under different light levels. The brass arm holds the shade at a fixed angle, directing light downward and forward across a typical A4-width desk surface.

From Ideal Lux, the Trellis carries IP20 rating for dry indoor environments and a 5-year warranty. The lamp requires no assembly beyond fitting the bulb and plugging the UK 3-pin cable into a standard socket.

What bulb does it take?

The Trellis takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb, sold separately. Most users fit a 6-10W LED in warm white (2700K-3000K) to match the brass tone and green glass. Avoid bulbs over 60W equivalent due to heat build-up inside the glass shade.

Is the shade adjustable?

The brass arm holds the shade at a fixed downward angle. The shade itself can be lifted off the support brackets to change the bulb, but the arm does not pivot or tilt during use.

Can it be used with a dimmer?

The lamp is rated non-dimmable. If you fit a dimmable LED bulb and pair it with a compatible plug-in dimmer or dimmer switch, dimming may work, but Ideal Lux does not guarantee flicker-free performance. Contact us before attempting to dim.

What's the light coverage area?

The green glass directs light downward and forward across approximately 400-500mm of desk surface, suitable for A4 documents, a laptop screen area, or reading a book. It provides task light rather than room-wide ambient coverage.
