About the Item

De-Light Tabourette desk petrol lighter designed by Louis V, Aronson for Ronson. This is a fine and highly collectible Ronson “De-Light” Tabourette table petrol lighter, manufactured in Newark, New Jersey, by Art Metal Works for the Ronson Company, circa 1928, during the height of the American Art Deco period. The lighter is elegantly constructed in plated steel and mounted upon a distinctive oval fluted base, creating a sleek and architectural silhouette. Its case is embellished with finely executed engine-turned decoration and striking skyscraper-inspired geometric patterns, characteristic of the sophisticated industrial aesthetic of American Art Deco. The mechanism incorporates a distinctive second thumb push-button, contributing to the lighter’s convenient operation and reflecting the innovative approach to one-hand ignition that became a hallmark of Ronson table lighters during the late 1920s. The Ronson “De-Light” series represents an important chapter in the history of American mechanical lighters. Produced by Art Metal Works in Newark, these sophisticated table accessories were among the innovative designs that established Ronson as one of the leading American lighter manufacturers during the Art Deco era. The present example remains in excellent condition and fully operational, retaining its crisp decoration, elegant proportions, and original period character. The model is documented in the Ronson reference book by Urban K. Cummings, further enhancing its historical and collectible significance. A superb example of American Art Deco industrial design, combining a sleek architectural form, masculine character, ingenious mechanics, and exceptional visual appeal.

The Ronson Lighter Company The company started as The Art Metal Works in 1897 and was incorporated on July 20, 1898, by Max Hecht, Louis Vincent Aronson and Leopold Herzig, in Newark, New Jersey. Louis V. Aronson was a huge creative driving force for the company; and, with a few business adjustments, including the addition of Alexander Harris (1910–11) as Business Manager, the company soon became World Famous. In the 1910s The Art Metal Works were producing very good quality Hood Ornaments and gained a reputation as a dependable supplier of same. All accounts state that Louis Aronson was a gifted man, who at 16 years old set up a money-making shop in his parent's home - before receiving a U.S. patent for a commercially valuable metal-plating process he developed when he was 24 years old, and he sold half the rights while retaining the Right to Use. "His experiments, which he has been conducting since his early youth, resulted in 1893 in the discovery of a process for electrically producing tinplate. Much money was expended upon improving the process... and has been of great practical value to the whole industry. Retaining its rights, he sold half the patent rights, and later used part of the proceeds to open the Art Metal Works in Newark, N.J. Soon the company was producing a variety of high-quality Lamps, Book ends, Art Statues and other decorative items, prized today for their detail in the collector marketplace.
