There is something captivating about the gleam and sculptural form of this vintage Baldwin bouillotte table lamp. Its substantial polished solid brass body weighs approximately 12 pounds, with three graceful serpentine candle arms, a fluted central column, and an ornate laurel wreath finial. The included black tapered shade gives the brass a dramatic, tailored contrast.
This late 20th-century Baldwin lamp is inspired by classic French bouillotte lighting. The three white candle sleeves are decorative, while two upper sockets provide the actual illumination beneath the shade. Both sockets have been tested and are working. A decorative brass key on the central stem secures the adjustable shade Baldwin, marked on the felt-covered underside
Material: solid brass with polished brass finish
Height: 25 inches to the top of the finial
Base: 7 inches in diameter
Weight: approximately 12 pounds before packing
Lighting: two working upper sockets
Shade: black tapered shade with contrasting trim, included
Finial: removable brass laurel wreath finial, included

The polished brass remains exceptionally bright and reflective, with light surface wear and a few small age spots consistent with vintage use. The shade has light rubbing and small marks, including a visible front scuff. The underside felt shows light wear. No obvious dents, bends, cracks, or repairs are visible. Please review every photo for the complete condition.
I would style this on a mahogany console, library desk, or grandmillennial side table where the black shade and warm brass can become a true conversation piece.
The shade, finial, and bulbs will be removed for safer packing. Ships carefully packed from Florida.
