About the Item

Original 1950 Greta Grossman Cobra Lamp Fiberglass Shade Rare Prototype or Pre-patent Competitor Here is an Incredible Greta Grossman style Cobra desk lamp! This lamp is believed to be either a pre-production prototype utlizing a fiberglass shade and an un-beveled base or a competitor's knock-off design that was made for a very short while, prior to Grossman's patent being approved! Either way, it is a marvelous lamp that really looks SPECTACULAR! And what a fantastic bit of mid-century design history! The fiberglass really adds a whole new dimension to the lamp design! It catches the eye more than the opaque metal shade and gives the lamp a more modernist edge, taking it away from a more industrial look. The brass neck also gives a marvelous contrast to the black satin enameled base. This lamp is much rarer than the "normal" metal Grossman Cobra design which have since been reproduced, diminishing the value of originals. A must have for your NY penthouse, Palm Springs atomic ranch or West Palm Beach estate!
