This first element, Removable and Adjustable in height, is embellished on its high and low ends of a Gilded border.
This Good illuminates by three arms of Light. Each of them is composed of a fake Candle, in which we will screw the bulb, and which is installed in a grooved Chalice. This last one is itself placed in a Pearly wick. These three branches, Curved and Ouvragées, are connected to a central shaft with Perlé friezes and grooves.
This Lamp rests in a Round Bowl with decorations reminiscent of those of the Candlesticks.
The central stem, of square section, is topped by a Removable Ring in Silver plated Metal. It is on this 44 cm axis that you can position the lampshade at the chosen height, thanks to a tightening screw hidden in what looks like the end of a guitar.
We will appreciate this feature specific to the Bouillottes Lamps, which allows to adjust the intensity of the lighting, simply by sliding the lampshade. Work atmosphere, dinner party or subdued: this 150 years old Pretty Luminary will adapt to the context and the moment.
