About the Item

This elegant French brass Bouillotte lamp with a tole metal shade, circa 1940, captures the timeless sophistication of traditional French lighting design. Inspired by 18th-century Bouillotte lamps used during card games in aristocratic salons, this mid-20th-century piece features a classic three-arm candelabra form with circular brass base and finely detailed craftsmanship. The warm patina of the solid brass highlights its vintage authenticity, while the original tole painted metal shade provides both charm and functionality. The adjustable tole shade, finished in a soft golden tone, is topped with a decorative arrow-shaped finial, allowing light control while adding a refined neoclassical touch. Its three candle-style arms provide balanced illumination, evoking the romance of traditional candlelight with the convenience of modern wiring. Perfect for a writing desk, console, or side table, this French lamp elevates interiors with its understated luxury. An ideal choice for lovers of French neoclassical décor, Bouillotte lamps, and 1940s lighting design, this piece blends history with practical elegance. Both functional and decorative, it serves as a striking focal point in living rooms, libraries, or bedrooms, embodying the grace of timeless French style.
