Lampe de Nuit with pink moth
The “Lampe de Nuit” is a type of nightlight used during the 18th century. The vase is filled with water and a candlestick is placed inside, with the water level to the edge. As the candle burns, it slowly floats up, until the stump rolls over and is extinguished. At least that’s what happens most of the time, so please only use this candle with supervision, like any other open flame. The design of the Lampe de Nuit also catches the wax drippings into its bowl of water, for easier cleanup. The Lampe de Nuit can also be used as a vase for cut flowers, or more commonly, a bulb could be placed on the hole and forced to bloom. You can see one in use in “Le Coucher de La Mariee“ by Pierre Antoine Baudouin.
This Lampe de Nuit is decorated with 3d insects including a moth, firefly, beetle, slug, and ants.
Dimensions: 6 1/2” x 3 3/4” base diameter
Porcelain, 22k gold accents
