Kupur Horse Lamps

A striking pair of horse-head lamps marked "Kupur" which, according to some sources, is an artistic spelling of Frederick Cooper's last name. In the early 20th century, Cooper started out with sculpture and painting, but then moved to table lamps. Some accounts say he was a Russian immigrant. In any case, he earned a reputation for forward-looking, art-deco style lamps as Cooper Lighting, and these are splendid examples. We believe them to be silver-clad with some other material underneath(ceramic or wood?) but have not had the material tested. We believe this to be from the 40s.
