Description:
This spectacular bouillotte lamp is in the Louis XVI style. The bronze dore base is comprised of three up-turned dolphins on a plinth base and the vase topped with a reeded cap and fluted stem. The Chinese sang de boef vase with its flambe glaze is of exceptional quality and probably dates to either the 18th or 19th century. The plinth base is incised "Made in France" (see photograph). This lamp has been completely restored and rewired with silk/rayon cord and double s-cluster sockets with two pull-chain controls. The paper shade with its black exterior and mottled-gold foil interior is new as is the frosted lucite diffuser.
