For your consideration is this brass, three arm French Empire bouillotte lamp from th early 20th century. A Bouillotte lamp is a French-style table lamp that first appeared in the 18th century under the reign of Louis XVI. It was first intended for use when playing Bouillotte, a popular gambling card game akin to poker. These lamps were originally designed for candles and were later converted for electric lighting. One of the most distinguishing elements is the movable shade, which is typically made of tole (painted metal), parchment, or brass. The shade is attached to a central rod and can be raised and lowered to adjust the brightness. In its original candle-lit form, players could change the shade as the candles burnt down to control the brightness. This lamp has been converted to electric and shows three arms. The base shows a bowl like shape. The three arms feature candlestick holders while the two electric outlets are further up the lamp. The tole shade is painted red with gold floral designs throughout. The top features a screw fixture so the shade can be completely removed, and below that is a turn key used to adjust the height of the shade. The lamp shows good condition overall with wear present from its age and use over the years, but no major signs of damage noted. It measures 12 3/4" L x 12 3/4" W x 21 5/8" H and weighs 5 pounds and 6 ounces.
