AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Desk set / smokers in onyx / alabaster, with brass/gold-toned metal frames. A type much loved among the 1940s–60s, widespread in Italy and France: bourgeois, decorative objects meant to make the desk look good rather than for heavy use.
Description:
– 2 table lighters in onyx (one cylindrical, one oval), mechanisms probably Ronson-style or similar.
– 1 hexagonal lighter in darker stone, with brass ignition group: the most interesting item in the lot.
– 2 coordinated ashtrays, one round and one square with zoomorphic feet (paw feet: a typical 1950s detail).
– 1 rectangular green opaline glass box with brass mounting (cigarette case / desk bonbonnière).
