About the Item

c. 1940s; The Faries Manufacturing Co. - Decatur, Illinois Brass desk lamp designed to prevent eye strain by re-directing the light downward and away from the user. This was achieved by way of a flat hood (hence the "cobra" name) that shielded the horizontal light from all 360-degrees around the lamp. This piece is constructed of a dark brass and features streamline accents along the neck towards the base; it is in working condition.
