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 design integrates Art Deco and early Modernist influences, with triple horizontal rib accents on the stem and a brass toggle switch mounted on the base. Compact yet substantial, this lamp embodies the sleek, aerodynamic aesthetic of interwar industrial design.
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.
