Vintage Mid-Century Gold-Painted Tabletop Lighter on Pedestal Base

This vintage gold-painted tabletop lighter is a charming mid-century accent piece that blends function with decorative appeal. Crafted in a rounded urn-like form with a flared pedestal base, it shows off a warm, hand-applied gold finish that has developed subtle crackling and patination—features that add character and authenticity consistent with age. The lighter mechanism appears to be metal with a traditional flip-top design commonly found in mid-20th century home lighters.

Pieces like this were often displayed on coffee tables, desks, or bar carts as both practical accessories and small luxury décor elements. Today, they remain popular with collectors of tobacciana, Hollywood Regency décor, and lovers of mid-century home accents. The gold-painted body gives it a rich, jewel-like sheen that makes it stand out even when not in use. Whether added to a curated vignette, used as a prop, or appreciated as a small sculptural object, this piece brings warmth, style, and vintage charm to any setting.
