What Are Bouillotte Lamp Shades ?
Bouillotte lamp shade is pronounced "BOO YACHT" lamp shade.
A Bouillotte lamp shade is shaped like a round short shallow lamp shade that is flared at the bottom.
The Bouillotte lamp shade originated with the French card game "Bouillotte" of the 18th century.
The Bouillotte card table was typically lit by a cluster of burning candles surrounding a vertical rod.
The Bouillotte lamp shade rested upon this rod and was adjusted lower as the candles burned down.
This way the Bouillotte shade shielded the card players from the candle light glare all during the game.
