This nineteenth-century French Neoclassical desk lamp comes from a gentleman's library and suits an office desk. The piece is constructed from brass and dark green painted toleware with gilt leaf decoration and white candle sleeves. The design includes three candle-style lights, a loop finial, a round stepped base, and a winged bird motif near the central shaft. The lamp stands 69 cm high, 33 cm wide, and 33 cm deep in practical terms. The metal shade features a dark green finish decorated with a gold leaf band along the lower edge. Three slender candle sleeves support the bulbs while an adjustable mechanism connects to the central rod. The polished brass parts show a warm metallic tone, and an electric cord exits from the base with a rotary switch. The lamp connects to a standard electrical outlet for practical use on a writing desk or reading table.

FAQs

Dust the painted metal shade with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or chemical solvents that could remove gilt decoration. Unlacquered brass elements can be polished gently, while lacquered brass requires only dry dusting.

These lamps are styled on executive writing desks, library tables, or sideboards. The dark green shade and brass finish provide contrast against wood surfaces or dark painted joinery.

Authentic pieces feature a solid brass construction, a weighted base, and a painted sheet-metal shade secured with a screw key mechanism on the central stem. Earlier models were created for actual wax candles before being converted or manufactured for electric fittings in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

Toleware lamps are constructed from lacquered or painted sheet metal, often tin or iron, decorated with gilt or painted motifs. The supporting structure, arms, and base are typically cast or turned brass.

A bouillotte lamp is a traditional French table lamp originating in the late 18th century, named after the popular French card game Bouillotte. It typically features a central brass shaft, two to four candlestick arms, and an adjustable painted metal shade designed to shield players eyes from glare.
