Bouillotte lamp. This is my personal favourite style of lamp. The term bouillotte comes from a vying 18th century French gambling card game of the Revolution, based on a game called Brelan, very popular during the 19th century in France and again in America for some years starting in 1830. Bouillotte is regarded as one of the games that influenced the open-card stud variation in poker. The bouillote lamp was the style of lamp used on the special table (called a bouillotte table) that the game was played on. The original lamps obviously having candles.
