HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Wildwood Lamps, known for their high-quality reproduction lighting, created this piece in the classic bouillotte style, inspired by late 18th-century French designs. The bouillotte style originated from a card game of the same name and became popular in American decor during the mid-to-late 20th century revival of traditional designs.
