Italian 1970s poplar burl wood and metal smoking desk set

Description

In the 1970s, the office became a realm of elegance. Italian manufacturers then produced coordinated sets where precious materials and clean lines conveyed a certain idea of masculine refinement.

This smoking desk set in poplar burl and metal perfectly illustrates this aesthetic. It comprises a circular valet tray, a covered rectangular box, and a matching lighter. The burl, selected for its rich grain and amber hues, is framed by a brushed metal structure that precisely highlights each volume. The set is based on a play of balanced proportions, typical of Italian design of the 1970s.

The condition is very good. The metal has a light and even patina. The magnifying glass retains its luster, with a few discreet marks consistent with age, without detracting from its overall harmony.

The storage tray measures 15 cm wide by 4 cm high.

The box measures 23 cm in length, 15 cm in width and 7.5 cm in height.

The lighter measures 16 cm in height and 6 cm in width.

Presented on a desk, a console or in a contemporary smoking room, this set creates a coherent and sophisticated scene, both decorative and functional.
