20th Century French Bouillotte Lamp with Black Tôle Shade

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined example of early 20th-century French lighting, this Bouillotte lamp exudes timeless elegance with its finely cast brass frame and signature black tôle (painted metal) shade. Originally designed for use in the classic French card game Bouillotte, this lamp features three gracefully curved candle arms with intricate detailing, mimicking the appearance of wax drips for an authentic antique aesthetic.

The adjustable shade, adorned with a delicate gold-painted laurel motif, allows for customizable lighting while maintaining its sophisticated neoclassical appeal. The lamp’s ornate finial and balanced proportions, resting on a decorative circular base with a gadrooned edge, further enhance its refined Louis XVI-inspired design.

Perfect for a desk, side table, or library setting, this French Bouillotte lamp is a stunning blend of function and artistry, adding an air of Parisian sophistication to any interior. Electrified for modern use.
