Dettagli del prodotto
This sophisticated 1970s Italian mid-century modern smoking and desk set captures the glamorous, high-end aesthetic of the space age era through its striking blend of materials. The three-piece vanity set includes a square tabletop lighter, ( height cm 9 ), a hinged accessory or cigarette box ( dim. 10x10x3 cm ), and a solid square ashtray. Each piece features heavy, premium lucite meticulously cast with a crushed or crumpled faux mother-of-pearl effect, creating a brilliant, multi-dimensional crystalline texture that catches the light beautifully. This pearlescent acrylic is seamlessly paired with polished, heavy-gauge gold brass accents, a signature pairing of 1970s Italian luxury design houses like Guzzini and various Murano-adjacent modernist ateliers. The tabletop lighter is designed with a sleek, columnar brass body capped with a lucite insert on the lid, housing its original gold-tone mechanical lighter insert. The matching square box features a fully lined lucite interior framed by sharp brass structural borders and a smooth mechanical hinge. Completing the set is the substantial block ashtray, which showcases a deep, smooth circular well carved into the center of the geometric lucite form. The entire set channels the sophisticated Hollywood Regency and brutalist-minimalist fusion that defined high-end Italian smoking accessories of the decade. The set remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting beautiful structural integrity across all pieces. The lucite is remarkably clear and free of yellowing, deep scratches, or chips, beautifully preserving the crisp white and silvery tones of the faux mother-of-pearl effect. The brass elements retain a vibrant, warm gold tone with only the light, natural surface patina and faint hairline scuffs consistent with careful residential use over the decades. The mechanical hinge on the box operates smoothly, and the lighter insert is complete but not tested, probably it needs only the gas, making this an exceptional, functional collector's set for a modernist interior, executive desk, or bar cart.
