Originating in 18th-century France to illuminate the popular card game of the same name, the Bouillotte lamp is defined by its candelabra base and downward-focusing metal shade. This vintage interpretation is anchored by a substantial, chamfered rectangular brass base that supports two tall candelabra columns fitted with pristine white faux-candle sleeves. The matte black oval tole shade features brass edge trim and a highly reflective polished brass interior, engineered to cast a warm, focused wash of light directly onto a desk or reading surface.
A central brass rod supports the shade, secured by an ornate finial and a decorative, adjustable brass key. For maximum versatility, the lamp features a 3-way base switch, allowing the user to illuminate the left bulb, the right bulb, or both simultaneously. This is an exceptional, high-quality lighting solution for a traditional library, executive office, or formal study.
Overall Height: 19 inches (to the top of the finial)
Base Dimensions: 9.5 inches wide × 5.5 inches deep
Shade Dimensions: 17.5 inches wide
Condition:This vintage brass Bouillotte lamp is in excellent, fully tested, and working condition. The polished brass base, columns, and finial retain a brilliant, reflective luster with only very minor, age-appropriate micro-scuffs. The matte black tole shade is exceptionally clean and free of dents. The 3-way switching mechanism functions perfectly. Please review all high-resolution photographs carefully, as they serve as a vital part of the condition report.
