ABOUT PRODUCTID 37622
This table lighter by Consul, manufactured in Germany during the 1970s, exemplifies sophisticated design inspired by late Art Deco, subtly reinterpreted through a modernist lens. The body is clad in vertically arranged rectangular panels of genuine mother-of-pearl, forming a gleaming mosaic that shifts between white, cream, and soft hints of pink and green, depending on how the light falls. Both the top and base are finished in highly polished chrome, offering a cool, metallic contrast to the organic iridescence of the shell. Visible screws and crisp mechanical details emphasize the lighter’s functional aspect and the precision of its craftsmanship. The maker’s signature appears on the underside, which also features openings for refilling fuel and replacing the flint. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or significant signs of use – the chrome retains its luster, and the mother-of-pearl surface remains pristine.Within this lighter resonates the voice of an era when luxury materials and geometric clarity defined the direction of design. The mother-of-pearl mosaic tells a story of longing for light, while the chrome details elevate the object above daily routine, transforming it into both a functional accessory and a tabletop sculpture. This is an object that could easily grace a modernist coffee table, where even the act of lighting a cigarette is imbued with a sense of ceremony.The lighter could be paired with mid-century accessories such as a lacquered tray, a Murano glass ashtray, or a chrome lamp base. It works well among furniture with clean lines and a restrained color palette – from classic modernist interiors to eclectic collector’s studies, where luxurious details take center stage.
