Description

A collector's Grade pair of Greta M Grossman cobra table lamps with labels intact. In 1950 Grossman won the 'Good Design Award' for her cobra lamp and it was subsequently displayed at the MoMA in NY. The paint on these examples is extraordinarily clean and both are all original. The lamps retain their patent number tags and the Ralph O Smith labels. One lamp also has the 'Good Design' label in place as well. You will likely not find a cleaner, all original matched pair of these fixtures anywhere on the planet.
