The body is solid aluminium, cut into stepped horizontal fins that read like a piece of machine-age architecture. A raised panel on each side is engraved with a sunburst pattern. The chrome cap at the top houses the flame, which is lit by a piezo-electric spark rather than a flint. The original Sarome label is still on the base. Sarome produced some of the most sculptural desk lighters of the period, and the finned designs are among the most collected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits well on a desk, a bar cart or a coffee table, where it works as a small sculpture whether or not it is in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourced in\u003c\/strong\u003e: Milan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sarome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003eAluminium, chrome-plated metal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 13 × D 6 × H 8 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribution\u003c\/strong\u003e: Original Sarome \"Piezo Electric\" label to base (photographed)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Good vintage condition, with light surface marks to the aluminium consistent with age.
