Hi Gina,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Frederick Cooper, a Chicago artist, established a studio in 1923 to create sculptures and watercolor paintings. Drawn to the then-new invention of lamps, he began designing lighting that blended brass, fabric, glass, and wood, aligning with the innovative American architecture of the time. The tulip or flower-shaped design is a common motif in some of Cooper's works.

Your lamps are bronze, with copper bottoms. The simplicity of the design and composition is elegant and elevates these above other examples. While most Frederick Cooper lamp pairs sell at auction for between $300 and $500, this pair is worth more: $500-700 at auction.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
