Pharmacy Lamp with Shell-Form Shade by Frederick Cooper

Built to be bent toward the page, at any hour.

This brass pharmacy lamp with a shell-form shade was made in Chicago, Illinois, in the 20th century. Lamps of this type are commonly floor-standing reading lights, with an adjustable height and an arm that swings the beam over a chair or desk. A fluted, scalloped shade like an open clam shell caps a gooseneck arm, which rises from a telescoping stem and a round weighted base. The brass is an even warm gold with a gentle sheen.

About 51 inches tall. Reading light with a seaside accent.
