About the Item

A Turn of the Century silvered bronze three-light bouillotte table lamp from the early 20th century with French hunting horn-themed arms and green painted sheet metal shade. Created in France during the Turn of the Century which saw the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, this "lampe bouillotte" as it is called in French captures our attention with its silvered bronze structure and exquisite décorative motifs. The term bouillotte comes from the card game of the same name (a version of the poker) which became extremely popular in France during the late 18th century. A bouillotte table on which the game was played is round in shape. It was originally adorned with torches, which became lamps after a while. These lamps typically had three arms and their shades, usually made of tôle, were adjustable to be closer to the candles so that a subdued light would be diffused. In the case of your lamp, the shade is made of a green painted sheet metal, adjustable thanks to a little arrow-themed screw. The three arms, also adjustable, showcase a hunting theme with their French horns supporting the candle sleeves. The ensemble is resting on a circular bowl that was destined to receive tokens for the staff after each game. The lamp has been professionally rewired for the US and is ready to be plugged. With its elegant décor and silvered bronze finish, this French bouillotte table lamp circa 1900 will make for a lovely addition to any home!
