Art Deco Double Shaded Table Lamp for Chase USA

Details: Copper table lamp for Chase USA, c.1930s, USA. The lamp features a double shade in staggering heights with a U-shaped copper body which rests on a circular base. The Chase Brass and Copper Company of Waterbury, Connecticut, was founded in 1876, and for most of its existence produced industrial metal parts. During the 1930s, part of their focus shifted to the production of decorative objects and housewares. They commissioned notable industrial designers such as Walter von Nessen and Russel Wright to develop products for their burgeoning line. The onset of WW2 ceased production of their housewares as the factory turned to manufacturing military products and parts. Following the end of the war, Chase did not return to producing decorative items, making the existing pieces they produced quite rare and desirable.
