Vintage Italian Alabaster Table Lighter with Chrome Mechanism

A beautifully weighted vintage Italian table lighter crafted from richly veined alabaster, showcasing warm reddish-brown tones and organic marbling throughout. Finished with a classic chrome flip-top mechanism, this sculptural piece captures the elegance and practicality of mid-century Italian desk and cocktail accessories.

Solid and tactile, the alabaster body gives the lighter a luxurious feel, while the natural stone pattern ensures each example is completely unique. A striking decorative object whether displayed on a coffee table, desk, or bar cart — equally appealing to collectors of mid-century design and lovers of refined interiors.
