In 1923, Mr. Frederick Cooper, a Chicago artist, established a studio to create beautiful sculpture and watercolor paintings. At that time, American architecture was in its heyday in the Windy City. Mr. Cooper was attracted to the the still newly invention of lamps. Through mixing the media of brass, fabric, glass and wood, Cooper created exquisitely designed lamps that matched the swift innovation in American architecture.

Under the stewardship of the Gershanov family, the business flourished in Chicago, then the lighting capital of the world. Over decades, many other lamp businesses faded away, while Frederick Cooper prospered, building on its reputation for distinctive styles and superb quality.

Today, Frederick Cooper stands for superlative design and traditional craftsmanship. Our goal is to search the world for lost arts and interpret them into illuminated art. There is no compromise in the integrity of media -- pure brass, genuine wood and exotic fabrics. Frederick Cooper -- built for generations.

Later, as his reputation and clientele grew, a small group of European craftsmen joined the company and from this nucleus of skilled furniture makers a line of country French and country English home furnishings evolved. Many of the enduring designs created during these early years remain in the company product line and continue to be best sellers.

Throughout the intervening years, the company has remained dedicated to the tradition of distinctive styling, old world craftsmanship, and the unique hand distressed finish, which have become the hallmarks of Guy Chaddock & Company products. Today, the current generation of master craftsmen still construct and finish each item to order, creating timeless heirloom quality home furnishings to be treasured through the generations.
