Vintage Ashtray & Lighter Duo in Travertine – Italy, 1970

Splendid vintage salon set in modernist/brutalist style from the 1970s, made in Italy. This duo consists of a large octagonal ashtray (which can also serve as a stylish catchall) and its matching table lighter. Both pieces are sculpted from natural cream/beige travertine, whose authentic pores and raw texture provide a unique character and great mineral elegance. The lighter mechanism (removable brass insert) fits perfectly into its stone base. An iconic piece of Italian design from this decade, in line with creations attributed to Cerri Nestore or Fratelli Mannelli. Dimensions: Ashtray: 11 cm (width) X 5 cm (height) Lighter: 6 cm (width) X 8 cm (height) Features: Materials: Genuine travertine, brass/gold metal. Style: Vintage, Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist. Origin: Italy. Era: 1970s. Condition: Good overall aesthetic condition of the stone (no major chips, natural pores of the rock clearly visible). The lighter insert is removable (sold as is, ideal for decoration or to be recharged). Perfect for adding a mineral and retro touch to a coffee table, a teak sideboard, or a desk.
