The finial atop this lamp gives it away as a considered piece rather than a purely functional one — a turned brass ball crowning the central rod, right where the shade slides up and down to adjust its height. That sliding mechanism was the whole point of the bouillotte form, letting the light be raised or lowered as needed, and here it's paired with a good, deep green tole shade over a bronze base with two candle arms. It carries the character of a well-appointed French interior, the kind of lamp equally suited to a desk, a games table, or a console where its brass and green coloring can stand out against the wood.
The lamp has a round bronze base with a beaded rim, from which two candle arms rise, each fitted with a faux candle sleeve. A central brass rod, topped with a turned ball finial, supports the green tole shade, which can be raised or lowered along the rod. The tole shade has a plain, deep green finish with a fine banded border near the rim, and the bronze base shows a warm, aged tone.
This is offered as a single table lamp. It is in good working order.
