A Louis XVI style bouillotte lamp in brass with a red pleated textile shade, fully functional and ideal to add historical elegance to a study or library.
Description from the seller
Elegant antique Louis XVI-style oil lamp. The base features five candlesticks dressed with an adjustable pleated red fabric lampshade. In the past, being able to adjust the light (the candle) was very practical for reading books, for example. That is why this lamp was often used in libraries and on the desk of a personal cabinet. Today, these lamps are fully functional and irreplaceable for those who wish to add an aesthetic and historical touch to their home interior.
History of creation: The hot water bottle lamp gets its name from a popular French card game called 'bouillotte,' which originated in the 18th century and proved its popularity throughout much of the following century. Often made of brass, this table lamp typically consists of two to five candle holders extending from a rounded base. These supports extend from the core of the lamp to essentially form a candelabrum.
Origin France
