Description from the seller
Mid-Century Modern Travertine Smoking Set - Ashtray & Table Lighter -
Description
An exceptional and rare vintage smoking set showcasing the heights of 1970s Italian brutalist minimalism. Expertly crafted in Italy, this sculptural duo is made from premium natural beige travertine stone, highly celebrated for its architectural textures and warm, organic tones.The design features clean geometric forms and is strongly attributed to the legendary Enzo Mari for the historic manufacturer Fratelli Mannelli (or Cerri Nestore).
The Ashtray: A heavy, solid square block featuring signature hand-carved minimalist grooves and a clean circular basin.The Table
Lighter: A perfectly proportioned matching travertine cube housing its original vintage metal insert mechanism.A highly collectible set that seamlessly bridges functional design and mid-century art. Perfect as a sophisticated table accent or an addition to an Italian design collection. Lighter mechanism works perfectly. It can also be used as a candle holder. There is barely perceptible chip on one corner, not visible during display; does not affect the overall appearance. To make the lighter work, you need to fill it with gas.

Seller's Story
Hello! I'm based in Belgium, and my passion lies in exploring flea markets. Rain or shine, in scorching heat or early Sunday mornings, I venture out to uncover treasures for my shop. Admittedly, not every trip yields results, but I'm thrilled that you can now enjoy my carefully curated finds from the comfort of your own chair.
I meticulously clean and hand-polish silverware to remove any patina, and I'm currently studying to become a restorer and expert in antique furniture. In my store, you'll discover luxury tableware, exquisite decor, sculptures, and, of course, finely crafted furniture. Take a seat and explore the world of carefully selected antiques right from your cozy armchair
