{"product_id":"antique-brass-bouillotte-lamp-three-arm-23844","title":"Antique Brass Bouillotte Lamp, Three-Arm Candelabra Form — French, 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bouillotte lamp takes its name from a French card game played late into the evening, when a table needed steady light that wouldn't dazzle the players seated around it. Its solution was elegant: a low cluster of candle arms, gathered close to the table's surface, topped with a shade that could be raised or lowered as the night wore on. By the nineteenth century, the form had outgrown the card table entirely, becoming a fixture of studies, libraries, and drawing rooms across France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example, French, nineteenth century, follows that form in full three-arm scale. Curved brass arms rise from a leaf-carved central stem, each ending in a candle socket, all set on a circular tray base finished with a beaded and foliate rim. Note how the acanthus leaf carving on the stem runs in continuous, overlapping bands rather than a single flat repeat — the kind of layered relief that separates a well-modeled nineteenth-century casting from a later, simplified reproduction. A fabric shade sits above, doing the work it always has: softening three points of light into one warm glow, with light staining consistent with its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever lit this lamp before you kept it well. The brass carries an honest, uneven patina built up over more than a century of handling, with no losses to the arms or relief work. It is ready for a desk, a library table, or a console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives professionally packed and fully insured — we handle the paperwork and worldwide shipping, and we fit the plug to your country (US, UK, or EU) at no extra charge.
