Bouillotte tables, named after the 18th-century card game bouillotte, were originally designed for use during this popular pastime. Their defining feature—a pierced brass or bronze gallery encircling a marble top—was both functional and decorative, keeping game pieces from falling. Traditionally including one or more drawers and tirettes for candles or trays, bouillotte tables became synonymous with French elegance. The card game, which focused on creating three-of-a-kind combinations, gained widespread popularity during the French Revolution, saw a resurgence in the 1830s, and even found admirers in the United States.
