Bouillotte, gilded bronze table lamp with painted sheet metal shade – early 1900s

Elegant gilded bronze table lamp, inspired by French Empire-style designs.

Particularly appreciated for its compact size—smaller than commonly available models—this lamp is an ideal solution for nightstands, writing desks, console tables, or small side tables, without sacrificing the elegance and dramatic presence of Empire-style lamps.

The circular, finely turned base supports three electrified candle holders with faux candles that evoke the appearance of antique wax candles, creating a refined, dramatic effect.

The lamp is complemented by an original lampshade made of dark green painted sheet metal, embellished with a delicate gold border featuring a floral motif and gold trim; the shade is height-adjustable via a central column, allowing you to raise or lower the light as needed.

The upper ring handle makes it easy to move, enhances its elegance, and evokes 19th-century neoclassical designs.

With great decorative charm, it is an ideal addition to a study, library, living room, or bedroom furnished in a classic style, capable of creating a warm and refined atmosphere.

Originally designed for the card game “bouillotte,” these lamps have become a classic decorative lighting fixture,
