{"product_id":"vintage-brass-bouillotte-table-lamp-red-42669","title":"Vintage Brass Bouillotte Table Lamp, Red Tole Shade — French Style, circa 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bouillotte lamp takes its name from a French card game once played late into the evening, when a table needed steady light that wouldn't dazzle the players seated across from it. The solution was a pair of candles set low, beneath a shade that could slide up and down its central stem — raised for a bright table, lowered to soften the glare as the night wore on. The silhouette outlived the game itself, becoming one of the most enduring and recognizable forms in French lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lamp, French in style and circa 1950s, carries that silhouette faithfully. Two brass sockets rise from a rectangular base finished with a beaded edge and set on four small feet, and a red tole shade — painted metal trimmed in gold — slides along the central stem exactly as the original design intended. Note how the shade's height adjusts independently of the bulbs beneath it, the mechanical detail that separates a true working bouillotte lamp from a fixed-shade lookalike; a small piece of period function still doing its job today. Each socket takes a standard E14 bulb, compatible with LED or incandescent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhoever kept this lamp lit before you kept it well. The brass and tole both carry honest wear consistent with age and regular use. It is ready for a desk, a console, or a study shelf, casting exactly the low, warm light it was designed to give.\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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturns are accepted within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 44 cm (17.3 in) · Width: 28 cm (11 in) · Depth: 19 cm (7.5 in)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterials: solid brass, painted tole (metal) shade\u003cbr\u003e\nElectrical: 2 × E14 fittings, LED or incandescent compatible; bulbs not included\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: good vintage condition; honest wear consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Jaspers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59088273244505,"sku":"LGT-TBL-095","price":570.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/5388\/5529\/files\/il_fullxfull.8347157393_3oww.jpg?v=1787567281","url":"https:\/\/maisonjaspers.com\/products\/vintage-brass-bouillotte-table-lamp-red-42669","provider":"Maison Jaspers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
