Status: Sold

Lalique France clear and frosted crystal table lighter in the "Tête de Lion" (Lion’s Head) pattern, a classic of the maison’s mid-century smoking-accessory line. The urn-form body is molded on opposite sides with a boldly sculpted lion mask in satin-frosted relief — a regal, Art Deco-inspired motif — raised on a polished clear pedestal foot, and fitted at the top with a removable chrome lighter mechanism. A handsome desk or coffee-table piece that doubles as a small sculpture. Script-etched "Lalique France" signature to the underside. Measures 4 × 4 × 5″.
