The customer who brought this in is 80 years old. She said she had this light since she was a little girl and it was old when she got it. She used it as a nightlight as a child but it hasn’t worked since she was a teenager. She had a hard time finding anyone who was willing to fix it. The repair was not easy but I was also able to revive her original bulb. How cool it that bulb!! Through my research in trying to get the bulb to work I’m figuring the bulb itself to be 90 years old!

People who have Frederick Cooper lamps are often really resistant to changing from the pleated eggshell lampshade it came with. I’ve often tried! However, luckily this client inherited this lamp so she wasn’t as tied to the shade in the before photo. But changing to the blue string drum brought this lamp more up to date and gave it some personality! I (Tara) like to match the shade to the lamp, as you well know. I’m not usually one for the more contemporary shape but it worked with the color and the string makes it interesting. I just happened to have that cloisonné finial for her too. The client was thrilled! *
