Vintage Brass Bouillotte Table Lamp, Adjustable Black Shade, French Style, 1950s

The bouillotte lamp traces back to French candlestick lighting, later adapted for electric use while keeping its defining feature: a shade that slides up and down an adjustable arm, letting the light spread wide or narrow depending on the task at hand. This vintage brass table lamp keeps that heritage form intact, built around a fluted candlestick column rather than a plain rod.

The brass column rises fluted and tapered from an octagonal base, with a cream candle-style sleeve covering the bulb at its top. Alongside it runs a slender adjustable arm, finished with an arrow-shaped finial, that lets the black metal shade — trimmed in gold — slide to the desired height. It's a genuinely functional design as much as a decorative one, built for reading or desk work as easily as ambient light.

The lamp presents in good vintage condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age across the brass column and shade.

The lamp is rewired, with the plug fitted to match your country's standard, free of charge. It's packed individually and shipped fully insured. Returns are accepted within 30 days.
