I have been collecting high-end lighters for nearly 20 years, and I have now decided to sell my entire collection. Every week, I will be listing premium and collectible lighters on Catawiki. I recommend adding my profile to your favorites to stay updated with my latest listings.
Cartier – Les Must de Cartier – Red Lacquer & Gold-Plated – Hand-Painted Phoenix Motif – Original Box – Collectible Lighter

In this auction, I am offering a remarkable Les Must de Cartier lighter, one of the brand's most artistic and collectible creations.

The lighter features a deep red lacquer finish enhanced with elegant gold-plated accents, while the front is decorated with a beautifully hand-painted Phoenix (Anka Bird) motif. Executed in rich shades of gold, red, white, and black, the artwork reflects Eastern artistic influences and exceptional craftsmanship. The Phoenix, a timeless symbol of rebirth, immortality, and strength, transforms this lighter into far more than a functional object—it is a true miniature work of art.

The lighter comes complete with its original Cartier presentation box. It has been carefully preserved over the years and remains in excellent collectible condition.

Condition
Fully functional (the flame is clearly shown in the photographs).
The red lacquer finish is clean, glossy, and well preserved.
The hand-painted Phoenix artwork retains its vibrant colors with no noticeable damage.
The gold-plated trim remains bright and attractive.
The ignition mechanism operates perfectly, and the lid opens and closes smoothly.
The original Cartier presentation box is included and is in good condition.

Collector's Note

Artistically decorated Les Must de Cartier lighters were produced in far smaller numbers than the standard Cartier models and are highly sought after by collectors today.

This particular example, featuring an exquisite hand-painted Phoenix design, combines artistic craftsmanship, vivid colors, outstanding overall condition, and its original presentation box, making it an exceptional piece for both Cartier collectors and enthusiasts of luxury artistic objects.

Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the lighter.

Everything shown in the photographs is included.
