Description from the seller
Lot of 4 Vintage Table Lighters with Natural Stone Bases – Italy, Mid-20th Century
Elegant lot consisting of 4 vintage table lighters, characterized by bases made of natural/mineral stone, each with different and unrepeatable shapes and veining.
The lot presents four specimens of different shapes and tonalities: stone in amber and honey shades, brown-reddish tones and a particular specimen with a black base. The worked and irregular surfaces of the stones enhance the handcrafted and decorative aspect of the objects.
The upper metal mechanisms feature brass-colored and silvered finishes, with evident traces and patina of time. The constructive features and design are traceable to the production of table and smoking accessories from the Mid-Century period, particularly widespread in domestic environments, studios and living rooms during the postwar era.
Epoch: circa 1950–1960
Stile: Mid-Century / Italian Vintage
Probable origin: Italy
Materials: natural/mineral stone, metal
Typology: decorative table lighters
Quantity: 4 pieces
Dating and provenance are indicated based on observable aesthetic and constructive characteristics, since no manufacturer marks are visible to allow a definite attribution. Similar Italian pieces in onyx and alabaster are documented as productions of the 1960s.
Conditions: vintage condition consistent with age. Patina, small marks, abrasions and color variations on the metals and stones are present, which are part of the natural aging of the objects. Please carefully observe all photographs, which constitute an integral part of the description.
The mechanisms are not guaranteed to be functional and the lot is offered primarily as a decorative and display collection.
A distinctive and sought-after ensemble, ideal for Mid-Century collectors, vintage table accessories and unique decorative pieces.
