AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Majestic large Empire-style bouillotte lamp, attributed to Lucien Gau (French master bronzeworker in Paris), with three light arms decorated with swans, dating from the 19th century. Its base is made of delicately chased bronze, with magnificent details worthy of the greatest master goldsmiths, and an adjustable green sheet-metal shade decorated with hand-painted royal bee motifs.
Originally, this lamp was designed as an accessory for card games, from which it takes its name: the bouillotte. The “game of bouillotte” was popular in France, particularly during the French Revolution. It was a French card game that emerged in the 18th century and was based on brelan.
This ornamental lamp will bring a touch of chic and elegance to any interior, whether modern or more contemporary.
Very well preserved for its age, with a few minor signs of wear; see photos.
