Faries Modernist Art Deco Black & Brass Desk Lamp c.1936 - RESTORED
Dating to the late 1930\'s, this amazing Faries lamp is a striking example of machine age modernist design. The metal shade pivots on two arms and allows for the direction of light. This lamp is extremely well made and quite substantial, weighing over eight pounds. The Faries Manufacturing Company of Decatur, Illinois, produced lamps and lighting primarily for office and industrial use. The company was founded by Robert Faries in the late 1800\'s and focused on medical and industrial applications in its early years. Beginning in the mid-1930\'s they produced a line of modernist office lamps which were very well received. Their innovation in modern design continued through the 1940\'s. Such Faries lamps are not easily found these days and are highly desirable among collectors and art deco enthusiasts.
This lamp has been restored and refurbished and is ready for contemporary use. Most of the black components have been professionally re-finished in baked gloss black powder coat. The two arms that hold the shade have been finished in black enamel with clear coat. Brass components have been cleaned and lightly polished. The original socket has been refurbished with new old stock. The original brass rotary on/off switch has been retained and is in good working order. Original wiring has been refurbished with reproduction fabric covered twist style cord and appointed with a vintage style plug. A new felt has been applied to the underside of the base. This lamp accepts a standard medium base light bulb (not included). I strongly recommend an LED bulb to minimize heat transfer.
