About the Item

c. 1930s-1940s; Faries Manufacturing Co. - Decatur, IL Streamlined "Eye-Saver" desk lamp by Faries, featuring a sweeping cobra-form arm and domed reflector shade executed in copper-plated steel.

The Faries Manufacturing Co., founded in the late 19th century, was a leading American lighting maker known for high-quality task and architectural fixtures. The "Eye-Saver" series was developed for offices and drafting environments emphasizing directional light and reduced glare.
