A classic Chapman bouillotte-style desk lamp dated 1984, crafted in warm antiqued brass with a tailored black tole shade and distinctive turned faux-ivory handles. The form draws inspiration from traditional 19th-century French library and writing-table lamps, reinterpreted here with the refined restraint and quality associated with Chapman lighting.
The faux-ivory handles reference antique bouillotte lamps, where cool-touch grips allowed the light to be adjusted without handling heated metal. At 25.5 inches high, the lamp has substantial presence while remaining versatile in scale—equally suited to a desk, console, library table, or bedside setting. The contrast of softened brass against the crisp black shade gives the piece a tailored, architectural quality that works beautifully in both traditional and more collected interiors.
Height: 25.5" including finial
Base: 6.5" x 6.5"

JUNE’S THOUGHTS
To me, this lamp is a win-win. It has that classic library-lamp presence that works beautifully in English-inspired interiors, but it also mixes surprisingly well with cleaner or more contemporary rooms, where the black shade and warm brass give it a more restrained, elegant feel.
