Description from the seller

Up for auction is a refined and elegant desk/table accessory crafted by the prestigious Faust manufactory, known for producing luxury enamelled metal objets d'art during the mid-20th century.

The object features a sculptural and sleek design, characterized by a geometry of opposing triangles that strongly recalls the Art Deco style. The chromatic contrast between the brass-gold finish and the glossy black enamel inserts gives the piece a sophisticated look, typical of Hollywood Regency taste and Mid-Century Modern design.

Functional Features:
The lighter holder is designed specifically to accommodate standard-size lighters (Cricket model), making it not only a collectible object but perfectly functional and usable even today.

Technical Data (Required information)
• Brand: Faust (Brand stamped inside, see photo).

• Color: Gold / Black.
