Description from the seller
Carved Alabaster Desk Set – Cigarette Holder, Lighter, and Ashtray
Refined coordinated smoking set made of precious alabaster, consisting of three unique pieces carved by hand. The set stands out for its distinctive "bark" finish (scabrolettatura) on the exterior surfaces, which contrasts elegantly with the smooth and glossy parts, highlighting the natural veining and the typical translucence of this calcareous stone.
The organic, tactile design, together with the warm tones of brown and amber, makes this furniture kit highly attractive, perfect for professional studios or living rooms in Mid-Century or Brutalist styles.
- Cigarette case/box: Smooth interior and chrome-plated metal profiles with snap closure.
dimensions: 14 cm x 9.5 cm x 6 cm
- Table-top lighter: Solid alabaster base with a mechanical metal insert.
dimensions: 10 cm x 8 cm x 7 cm
- Ashtray: A one-piece, sculptural design that recalls a cross-section of a natural log.
dimensions: 17 cm x 18 cm x 6 cm
Total weight 3.6 kg
Craftsmanship: Artistic workmanship that highlights the mineral structure of stone.
Conditions:
The set is in excellent, well-preserved condition. The stone shows no significant chips and retains its natural shine. The lighter's mechanism is intact and requires only normal maintenance (gas refill/flint replacement) for functional use.
Hand-carved
Made in Italy
