Description from the seller

The vivid red lacquer panels framed by fine gold lines give this lighter a sharp, architectural presence, and the crisp Cartier Paris engraving on the base anchors it firmly in the maison’s classic language. With its original Cartier presentation box, this is a composition that seasoned collectors tend to appreciate for its balance of color, line, and restraint.

[Appearance]
The red lacquer shows light surface scratches and minor signs of use, most noticeable under close inspection, while the gold-plated edges display small areas of wear and soft rounding at the corners. These honest traces of age are offset by an even, rich lacquer tone and well-preserved gilt lines that remain visually sharp. The base engravings are clear and legible. Overall, the piece retains a refined presence. Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.

[Functionality]
Basic ignition only confirmed. No gas-related checks have been performed. Due to its vintage nature, a professional overhaul is recommended for reliable, long-term use. All other functions are untested and not guaranteed.

[Accessories]
Everything shown in the photos is included.

[Shipping]
The item will be shipped via an international courier such as FedEx with tracking and insurance. Import duties and taxes may apply depending on the destination country and are the buyer’s responsibility.
