About the Item

This 1970s Mid-Century Modern Italian ashtray and lighter set exudes a glamorous and sophisticated design, typical of the period's penchant for luxurious materials and bold aesthetics. The set combines brass and faux tortoiseshell Lucite, resulting in a chic, decorative pair that embodies the era’s elegant yet modern style. The ashtray is square in shape, with a sleek, polished brass frame and faux tortoiseshell Lucite, a synthetic material designed to imitate the rich, mottled brown and amber tones of real tortoiseshell. The Lucite surface has a deep, glossy finish, providing a luxurious contrast to the bright brass. Its overall form is minimal, with clean lines and sharp corners, staying true to the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic of simplicity paired with striking materials. The lighter matches the ashtray in design, with a brass and faux tortoiseshell Lucite body that echoes the same square form. The lighter has a boxy shape, with the top mechanism, made from brass, contrasting the sleek Lucite base. The lighter mechanism is typically recessed into the body, adding to the seamless and modern appearance. Together, the ashtray and lighter have been a stylish addition to any Mid-Century Modern interior, reflecting the Italian design ethos of elegance, modernity, and refined materials. They have been never used.
