A beautifully sculptural vintage brass floor lamp in the style of Frederick Cooper, featuring the signature clamshell shade that made his lamps a decorator favorite from the 1960s through the 1980s. The naturalistic scalloped shell shade rests on a slender adjustable arm and a weighted circular base — a form that reads as equally at home in a Palm Beach living room, a mid-century modern study, a Belgian-inspired reading nook, or a more traditional library. The warm brass has developed a lovely, honeyed patina — the kind that only comes with decades of gentle use and can't be replicated with new production. Adjustable height and pivoting shade make it a genuinely functional reading lamp, not just a decorative object. Perfect next to a favorite chair, at the end of a sofa, or beside a bed. Frederick Cooper Lamp Co. (Chicago, founded 1923) is one of the most collected American lighting manufacturers of the 20th century — known for hand-finished brass, sculptural forms, and the kind of quality that has kept his lamps in continuous demand on the secondary market for fifty years.
