Description from the seller
Elegant and authentic mid-century Italian desk set attributed to Romano Bianchi, dating from the 1950s–1960s.
This refined vintage set consists of:
- an original desk lighter (not tested)
- the matching stone storage box, made from the same material
Both pieces are crafted from natural alabaster with unique veining and warm amber tones, framed with nickel-plated metal. Designed as a luxury smoking accessory for cigars or pipes, this set also works beautifully as a decorative desk or coffee-table object.
A true mid-century modern collectible, increasingly hard to find as a complete original set.
