Dimensions: Height 65 cm, Lampshade diameter 32 cm
Materials: Gilt bronze, lacquered iron
Elegant Bouillotte table lamp made of finely chiseled gilt bronze. The object has a three-arm candlestick structure that branches off from a fluted central stem, resting on a circular base decorated with gadrooned motifs and classic Greek frets.
The lampshade, a distinctive element of this type of lighting, is made of dark green lacquered iron, adjustable in height along the central rod by means of a bronze screw terminal. The top of the rod is finished with a decorative element in the shape of an arrow, a typical detail of neoclassical production.
The style refers to the Empire and Louis XVI period models, characterized by formal rigor and symmetry, very popular in high-quality French production between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The work is of French manufacture, as evidenced by the refinement of the bronzes and the constructive typology of the movable lampshade, originally designed to shield the light of candles during social games.
The object dates back to a period between the late 19th century and the early 20th century.
The state of conservation is excellent, with the original gilding retaining a pleasant shine and slight signs of aging that attest to its authenticity.
