The lamp type gets its name from a popular 18th-century French card game, as lamps like this were used to illuminate the game tables during long evenings. Adjustable Shade: The shade of traditional Bouillotte lamps can be moved up and down on a central stem to adjust the height of the light to a diminishing light source as the flames burn, or to focus the light on a specific point. Wonderfully delicate workmanship, different from all the others. The handle ring is held by a clenched fist, and it has the original accessories, in a beautiful gold color, the manufacturer just added them for design, the lamp switch, the scissors and so on... This lamp was made in Switzerland, almost as precisely as watches. Of course, it works perfectly, and with two bulbs it gives off a beautiful light. We can post it carefully packaged, in an insured, registered package.
