Description
Overview
A matching pair of vintage Gucci-branded desk accessories comprising a cylindrical table-lighter housing and companion cigarette container. Both have fine vertical ribbing, polished silver-coloured surfaces, hinged caps, swinging side handles and contrasting gold-tone horsebit-like embellishments on the lids.
The underside of both pieces retains a legible 'Made in Italy by Gucci' stamp. The lighter housing is pictured open with an ignition insert, while the companion cylinder shows its empty interior, making the two functions easy to distinguish.

Materials, Marks & Construction
The leather- or leather-like underside pads bear gold-stamped Gucci branding. Both cylinders have visible age patina and metallic surfaces. No hallmark or assay confirms solid precious metal; this set is not represented as solid silver or sterling silver.
Design & Finish
The pairing of a table lighter and cigarette container is a recognisable format among twentieth-century Italian designer smoking accessories. Comparable Gucci examples use the same combination of silver-tone metal, decorative equestrian motifs and branded base pads; comparison supports the product type but does not establish this set's exact manufacturing year.
Condition
Both pieces show visible age and handling traces, wear on the base pads and areas of interior oxidation. The lighter has not been tested for gas retention, spark or flame, and is not described as operational. The cigarette case is supplied as pictured.
Collector Notes
A collectible two-piece designer smoking set for lovers of Gucci's equestrian design language. The branding is visible; independent authentication and mechanical servicing have not been completed as part of this listing.
