Check with electronics distributors for the likes of a small Staco or Superior Electric brand autoformer (variac), 270-300W rated units run around $60-70.Newark and Allied carry one or the other brand, and other distribs as well. Check their web sites using search words like variac and autoformer.
Getting these industrial grade units nicely mounted into the wall may take some imagination, and some luck with finding the right wall box and plate, etc., but the cost is so reasonable, that it is worth a little searching to make it work.
Note that most such units have an over unity setting, PAST 120V level, and this can significantly shorten the life of many bulbs! Again, you could put a stop on the knob or shaft to prevent exceeding 100% voltage.
