Lampada da tavolo - Metallo - Bouillotte lamp
This antique lighting fixture is known as a bouillotte lamp (or lampe bougeoir à écran), a style that originated in late 18th-century France for use during card games like Bouillotte.
Key Characteristics
Design: This specific model features a two-light design with an adjustable bronze or silver-plated screen. The screen was originally intended to be lowered as the candles burned down, protecting the players' eyes from the glare.
Era and Style: Similar pieces are often dated to the 19th century and frequently reflect Louis XV or Empire styling.
Modern Adaptation: While originally designed for wax candles, this piece has been electrified, a common conversion for antique bouillotte lamps to make them functional for modern use.
The silver‑plated lamp shows oxidation and requires a proper cleaning. Otherwise in a perfect working condition.
