A highly unusual and very charming table lighter in the form of an Art Deco Robot. The heavy cast polished brass figure standing on a circular sôcle is holding a removable axe, perfect for opening wooden cigar boxes, and the characterful head with polished copper features removes to reveal the lighter underneath. Highly reminiscent of Fritz Lang’s 1924 movie masterpiece ‘Metropolis’. German, circa 1930s.
