The piece measures 21 cm high, 12 cm wide and 6 cm deep. Suitable for placement on an office desk or mantelpiece, this figural table accessory brings period character to a study, living room or library. The item stands ready for display as a decorative collectible showcasing classic Austrian metalwork and stone craftsmanship from the early twentieth century.

FAQs

Art Deco figural table lighters from the 1920s and 1930s feature sculpted characters or athletic figures integrated with functional lighting mechanisms, often mounted on stone bases.

These items were predominantly constructed from cold-painted bronze or spelter, combined with carved onyx or marble bases and steel or chromium mechanism components.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit crisp casting details, original patination or cold painting, era-appropriate friction lighter mechanisms, and artist signatures or foundry marks on the base.

A figural table lighter serves as an accent piece when positioned on a dark wood office desk, a library bookshelf, or a side table alongside other period accessories.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water or harsh chemicals on the cold-painted metal surface, and clean the onyx base with a slightly damp microfibre cloth.
