AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This impressive antique table lighter features a metallic finish with a patinated appearance. Its elongated, slightly curved shape evokes the style of the 1950s, with clean lines and a decidedly retro design. The upper part reveals the ignition mechanism, typical of lounge lighters from that era.

The body of the lighter displays a uniform hue, oscillating between aged bronze and gray metal, subtly highlighted by raking light. The oval base, adorned with a beaded relief pattern all around its perimeter, adds a classic decorative touch. Some signs of use and a sporadically tarnished surface are visible, attesting to its authenticity and age.

The ignition mechanism, clearly visible on the top surface, is integrated into a smooth, domed casing, with no inscription or apparent mark on the photographed area. The whole rests on a thick, stable base, which accentuates the decorative and utilitarian aspect of the object.

This model of table lighter, by its size and presence, stands out as a true vintage decorative object. The absence of superfluous elements and the sobriety of the design perfectly illustrate the taste for functional elegance of the mid-20th century.

The visible patina, as well as some traces of wear, give the object an authentic charm and a retro appeal particularly sought after in the world of interior decoration.
