Bouillotte Lamp Directoire Period

Beautiful vintage bouillotte lamp from the end of the 18th century. Elegant model with beautiful golden and copper highlights. Base in polylobed copper with ogee on brass plinth, and applied edge of a ribboned brass frieze. Matching tray with double sliding bin on a square section steel rod, locked by brass “butterfly” screw. The binet tray has already been previously drilled from below for electrification. Oval copper lampshade also decorated on each edge with a ribboned brass frieze, sliding and adjustable. top of the stem topped with a decorative bronze element in the shape of a flowered basket. Slight dents, very acceptable on the lampshade. Beautiful detail of the copper binets in imitation of a fluted column enhanced with applied brass garlands. Polishing in a professional workshop. Note: beautiful, atypical model due to its composition, often intended to be lacquered or silvered, this one escapes the rule. Delivery: €20 for mainland France.
