20th Century French Empire-Style Bouillotte Lamp with Sphinx Motif

About the Item

This exquisite French Empire-style bouillotte lamp features an elegant gilt bronze base adorned with finely cast details. The lamp is supported by four clawed feet, with a central sphinx figure—a hallmark of neoclassical and Egyptian Revival design—adding a striking focal point. Two candle-style lights with faux-wax drips rest on delicately detailed brass holders, evoking the charm of 19th-century French lighting. The pleated fabric shade, trimmed with decorative braid, complements the lamp’s refined aesthetic while diffusing a warm and inviting glow. The finial, shaped like a miniature urn, adds a sophisticated touch. A perfect blend of historical influence and timeless elegance, this lamp is ideal for a desk, side table, or console, bringing an air of Parisian grandeur to any space.
