<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 208802, member: 44&quot;]I&#039;m not at all sure if this would be considered a bouillotte lamp. Ones from the 1700s when bouillotte was a popular card game and reproductions made today had/have metal/tin/tole shades that slide down a post as the candles burned down to protect the card players from the glare of the candles. Their bases were usually dish shape. The ones I&#039;ve seen have the candle cups on arms rather than on a tray thingy like these are on. Following is a link to Google pictures of them. Note the stem in the middle isn&#039;t like yours.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Bouillotte+lamp&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiso5uw9_LRAhUG5WMKHSFbBDgQsAQINA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=513&amp;dpr=1.5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Bouillotte+lamp&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiso5uw9_LRAhUG5WMKHSFbBDgQsAQINA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=513&amp;dpr=1.5" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=Bouillotte+lamp&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiso5uw9_LRAhUG5WMKHSFbBDgQsAQINA&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=513&amp;dpr=1.5</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a webpage with info on bouillotte tables and lamps:</p><p><a href="http://buzzonantiques.blogspot.com/2010/07/word-of-day-bouillotte.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://buzzonantiques.blogspot.com/2010/07/word-of-day-bouillotte.html" rel="nofollow">http://buzzonantiques.blogspot.com/2010/07/word-of-day-bouillotte.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Wait for others to chime in.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
