Karges Furniture in Evansville, Indiana has been making beautiful, hand-crafted furniture for over 100 years. The name Karges may not be familiar to you. In fact, many furniture connoisseurs have never heard of it or Evansville, but an editor who recently toured the factory referred to Karges as "The Last Great American Furniture Company".

In 1923, 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 drawn to the still fairly new invention of lamps. Through the mixing 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.
