Bouillotte was a French card game that was very popular
during the late 1700s. The originals were candle burning lamps that had a bowl
shaped base where the game chips were stored. A central tube surrounded by
candle holders (candelabra) held a metal shade. The bouillotte shade could be
adjusted downward to cover and shade the burning candles as they burned lower
thereby shading the direct candle light from the players eyes. Modern electric
bouillotte lamps often have this adjustable shade feature incorporated into the
design for authenticity although it has no practical use . A great gift idea
for a house warming, or to elevate an executive office space .
