This is a beautiful lamp and hard to find! Frederick Cooper is known for uniquely designed lamps. This lamp is does not disappoint! At the base of the lamp on a wooden platform, is a bronze horse with a horse rider equipped with a long sword and gun in hand at full gallop. It reminds me of a how the West Was Won type of theme. The lampshade compliments the sculpture with its braided cord and feathers. The lamp is turned on and off by a rotary switch on the cord. There is absolutely no damage, and it is an excellent condition, with the small exception of some splatter marks on the inside of the lampshade that are not visible outside. This is shown in the last photograph. I am willing to ship the lampshade at my cost in a separate box to keep it safe. Please see all the photographs. I don’t know how old this is but I am continuing to research it. Ships from a non-smoking home.
The from the base of the lamp to the top of the shade measures 20 inches. The wooden base is approximately 6 1/2 inches long and 4 1/2 inches wide. The rider and horse stand at 7 inches tall. The lamp weighs 4.4 pounds.
In 1923, Frederick Cooper, a Chicago artist, established a studio to create beautiful sculpture and watercolor paintings. American architecture was in its heyday in the Windy City. Mr. Cooper was drawn to the still fairly new invention of lamps. Through mixing the media of brass, fabric, glass and wood, Cooper created exquisitely designed lamps that matched the swift innovation in American architecture.
