Frederick Cooper Table Lamps
American
In the early 20th century, a Chicago artist named Frederick Cooper found himself captivated by home lighting and electric lamps, which were only common in approximately half of American households during the mid-1920s. Cooper, whose primary media were sculpture and painting, began to design stately, modern table lamps that mirrored the grandeur of the burgeoning architecture in the Windy City.
Cooper accrued some notoriety as a forward-looking lamp designer who combined materials like brass, ceramics, glass and wood to create exquisitely crafted lamps, particularly at a time when the striking chrome finishes and sharp geometric angles of Art Deco lighting had become immensely popular.
The Frederick Cooper Lamp Company was eventually sold to Benjamin Markle and Russian immigrant Leo Gershanov. Under their stewardship after the Second World War, the manufacturer flourished in Chicago and the local lighting artisans at Stiffel gained a formidable competitor. The timing was particularly ripe — the demand for table lamps to furnish new houses exploded, and the company built on Cooper’s artistic reputation and his signature styles.
Lighting designers at Frederick Cooper innovated in the years that followed, integrating alluring materials like glazed ceramics, painted porcelain, marble and jade. Apart from the classic Art Deco designs that defined the studio’s work in its early days, the company’s craftsmen experimented with Asian-inspired designs and produced floor lamps, wall lights, modernist chandeliers and other fixtures in varying furniture styles such as Neoclassical, Hollywood Regency and Empire.
Now owned by Wildwood, the Frederick Cooper Lamp Company has collaborated with many high-profile designers such as Larry Laslo, Mario Buatta and others on a range of lighting projects.

Moorish Style Frederick Cooper Hammered Copper Urn Shaped Double Handled Lamp
By Frederick Cooper
Located in Topeka, KS
Wonderful Moorish style Frederick Cooper hammered copper urn or jug shaped double handled lamp with a black coolie shade. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The exterior of the shade was showing some wear so we have given it a new coat of black matt paint it still may have some small imperfections. As with all our lamps, we will ship with or without the shade just let us know at purchase. Please see photos and zoom in for details. Copper has a couple small scratches and inherent patina. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century.
NOTE: Shipping is possible via parcel which may reduce shipping costs, please contact Seller for a quote.
