Then a few years ago I started to obsess about it. I read everything I could find about the lamp before deciding to get one. After a while, I got my hand on one that I could restore to its former glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convinced that I wasn&#8217;t the only poor soul to be obsessed with this lamp I decided to make this website. Here I share what I know about the lamp, some interesting facts as well as how to go about getting and restoring one for yourself. I hope you enjoy it and\/or find it helpful<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thebankerslamp.com\/terms-of-use\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Terms of use<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thebankerslamp.com\/privacy-policy\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Privacy policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thebankerslamp.com\/cookie-policy\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cookie policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thebankerslamp.com\/affiliate-disclosure\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Affiliate disclosure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>paolo@maikers.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello there, I&#8217;m Sean I&#8217;ve been a fan of the banker&#8217;s lamp ever since it first caught my eye in some movie many years ago.
