About the Item

Uncommon pair of little Bouillotte bedside lamp. Gilded bronze and adjustable metal lampshade. These lamps are adjustable using a screw system so that its lampshade can be placed at the height of the candles. This allows you to illuminate your work while keeping the light low. Empire period style, France 1950s the lamps are in good condition, there are traces of use and time, the electrical harness is original and vintage, they work perfectly and they will certainly have to be brought up to the electrical standards of a country of destination. The 18th century lamp tailor-made for Bouillotte card game. Bouillotte is a bluff game considered to be one of the ancestors of Poker. During social evenings, three to five players, equipped with cards and tokens, gathered around a so-called Bouillotte table, a pedestal table made of marble, mahogany or various precious woods, and covered with a green cloth. For lighting, the guests used gilded bronze or silver three-branched candlesticks. Arranged in the middle of the table, they were finally covered with a metal lampshade equipped with a sliding system allowing the intensity of the flame to be modulated, through a game of concealment, and to obtain a subdued atmosphere, nature to spice up the game. This ingenious device, tailor-made to liven up wild games, was thus baptized “ Lamp Bouillotte ”. The first models even had a hollow groove on their base that could accommodate the cards at the end of a draw so as to announce the result. The base, in the shape of a bowl, was intended to receive the tokens which, at the end of the game, were given to the household staff.
