This onyx table lighter dates from the mid-20th century, likely from the 1950s-1970s period when decorative smoking accessories were popular home decor items. These types of lighters were often produced in Italy, known for its stone carving traditions, and were part of desk sets that sometimes included matching ashtrays and other smoking accessories.

Table lighters made of onyx or marble were particularly sought after for their elegant appearance and substantial feel. They appeal to collectors of vintage smoking paraphernalia, mid-century modern decorative arts enthusiasts, and interior designers looking for distinctive accent pieces. The natural variations in the stone make each piece unique, adding to their collectible value.
