About the Item

A French Bouillotte lamp with its original painted tole shade. Bouillotte is a card game, popular in France during the 18th & 19th centuries. For light, they would use a specialized lamp: as the candles would burn down one would use a key on the central shaft to lower the shade, allowing the players to be free of glare. This particular exaple is brass with 3 candelabra arms, now professionally cleaned and wired for chandelier-base lightbulbs. 1880's or earlier.
