Bouillotte lamp

Old empire style hot water bottle lamp (20th century). Delicate floral motifs are hand-painted on each side of the lampshade. The lampshade is made of sheet metal and adjustable in height. The support is made of bronze. Its luminosity is soft and muted. The lamp is in good condition, its electrical system also (a new switch has replaced the old one). The lampshade shows some traces of aging. No, you will not be able to heat your bed with it. Originally, this type of lamp was created for gambling rooms, and it takes its name from a game of cards of chance and intimidation dating from the end of the 18th century, the hot water bottle. It was then equipped with 2 or 3 candles. Dimensions: width 18 cm – length 30 cm – total height 50 cm. Weight: 1.6 kg. Professional and passionate hunter, I carefully select the pieces I hunt. They are always cleaned as best as possible, while sometimes leaving the patina of time if it is part of the charm of the article or its soul... I also take care to specify in the ads as much detail as possible and to clearly indicate the marks of time or use (with close-up photos). I am of course at your disposal for any further information, especially if you want a delivery option that is not offered in this announcement. I often travel by car, so I could, depending on your address and if your order is not urgent, offer you delivery by myself, at a lower cost. I usually respond very quickly to messages. Finally, great care will be taken in the packaging of your order to protect it as best as possible during transport.
