Product description
This striking, museum-quality mid-century modern smoking set designed by the renowned Italian artisan Romano Bianchi. Hand-crafted in Italy during the 1960s, this exceptional two-piece set includes a substantial, brutally elegant ashtray and a coordinating cubic table lighter. Both pieces are meticulously hand-carved from premium Italian alabaster, showcasing a magnificent, deeply saturated amber and honey-toned palette with intricate, organic veining. The ashtray features a captivating juxtaposition of textures: a highly polished, smooth interior well contrasted by a rugged, live-edge "rock" texture along the perimeter. The matching table lighter is sculpted into a clean, geometric cube, housing its original, fully functional chrome lift-arm mechanism. This set is a quintessential example of 1960s Italian decorative arts, perfectly blending Brutalist organic textures with sophisticated Mid-Century style. Whether used for its original purpose or repurposed as a compelling sculptural statement on a desk, coffee table, or library shelf, this set exudes vintage sophistication. The table lighter works perfeclty. This smoking set is in excellent condition.
