About the Item

Exquisite 19th-century French Empire bouillotte lamp featuring gilt brass/bronze mounts, dark green metal (tôle) shade with gold trim, and two candle-style lights. Professionally cleaned and rewired. This distinguished bouillotte lamp exemplifies the refined elegance of French Empire design. The lamp features a beautifully executed gilt brass/bronze base with classical detailing, including acanthus leaf motifs and beaded ornamentation characteristic of the period. The dark green tôle shade provides a sophisticated contrast to the warm gold tones of the bronze. The two-light configuration maintains the traditional bouillotte form, with each candle arm supported by fluted bronze work and terminating in decorative bobeches. The adjustable shade mechanism, operated by the distinctive arrow finial at top, allows for customized lighting—a hallmark feature of authentic bouillotte lamps originally designed for card tables in French salons. The circular base exhibits superior craftsmanship with its gadrooned edge and dark green painted accents that harmonize with the shade. This piece has been expertly electrified for modern use while preserving its historic character. The lamp shows excellent patina consistent with age and careful preservation. An exceptional example of French decorative arts that would enhance traditional, transitional, or eclectic interiors seeking authentic period lighting with timeless appeal.

Spanish Mid-Century Punter Green Albarello Table Lamp — Mudéjar Revival
By Domingo Punter e Hijos
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Meticulously hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Punter Teruel vase in the celebrated Spanish Revival style, this one-of-a-kind lamp bridges medieval heritage and mid-century design. The albarello-shaped base, rooted in Aragón’s ceramic traditions, is finished in a white tin glaze and painted freehand in deep green and manganese black—the iconic palette of Teruel pottery since the 14th century. Panels of decoration unfold across the lamp’s surface: a stylized long-necked bird, swelling seed pods, and a heraldic face within a medallion. These bold motifs, painted with confident brushstrokes, reflect the Mudéjar Revival movement, which reimagined medieval patterns with modern artistry. At the foot, the reddish terracotta clay is revealed, proudly inscribed “PUNTER,” a rare and direct signature from this historic workshop. To complement the ceramic base, Amitābha Studio has paired the piece with a bespoke lampshade in a green, black, and white tweed weave. Its textured pattern echoes the glaze’s tones, while a double-cord passementerie trim by Houlès lends refinement. When illuminated, the lamp casts a warm, inviting glow that enhances both classic and contemporary interiors. This Spanish Revival lamp...

Spanish Mid-Century Teruel Green Ceramic Table Lamp — Mudéjar Revival
By Domingo Punter e Hijos
Located in AMSTERDAM, NL
Lovingly hand-crafted by Amitābha Studio from a vintage Punter Teruel vase in a baluster form, this lamp exemplifies the richness of Spanish Revival design paired with mid-century artistry. The rounded body rises gracefully to a tall neck, its surface coated in a creamy tin glaze and painted freehand in the distinctive loza verdimorada palette of green and manganese black. This striking chromatic language, unique to Teruel ceramics, traces directly back to the medieval Mudéjar traditions of Aragón, where similar motifs once adorned both domestic tablewares and the city’s iconic glazed towers. The decoration is arranged in framed compartments across the body: a heraldic lion, a stylized bird, and geometric devices executed in bold black linework. Along the lower register runs a rhythmic frieze of pinecone medallions, a traditional symbol of abundance and vitality. The motifs, painted with expressive brushwork, exemplify the revival style pioneered by Domingo Punter and his contemporaries, who reinterpreted medieval patterns with modern fluidity. At the foot, the reddish terracotta clay is revealed, inscribed with the bold mark “PUNTER,” confirming the piece’s authenticity. To balance the ceramic base, Amitābha Studio has paired the lamp with a custom lampshade in a green, black, and white tweed weave. The textured fabric recalls couture textiles, while the double-cord passementerie trim by Houlès adds refinement. When lit, the lamp casts a warm, inviting glow that emphasizes its sculptural silhouette and intricate surface design. This Spanish Revival lamp...
