Bouillotte is a card game which was popular in France especially during the French Revolution, and was based on three of a kind. A Bouillotte lamp’s function was to illuminate the cards of the players. As the candle burned down a key, where the shade connects to the supporting brass shaft, can be released to adjust the height of the shade, to hide the flame and reflect the light downwards.
The majority of these lamps have been converted to electricity to not this one which is in its original condition with its age and wear consistent to its age and use.
