Description from the seller

Christian Dior lighter – Paris gasoline (naphtha), a pocket accessory with a classic aesthetic and a striated gold finish. The piece is presented in very good overall condition, maintaining an elegant and uniform presence, with the gold still vibrant and the striation well-defined.

As is customary in vintage items with polished surfaces, it shows micro signs of use: fine surface marks and slight scratches on edges and contact points, mainly visible against the light, with no significant dents or visible dings. The engraving 'Christian Dior – Paris' on the base remains clear and perfectly legible.

Functionality: the lighter is operational; it is shown lit with a stable flame in the photographs. As it is a gasoline model, its use and maintenance are typical of this system: it requires refilling with gasoline and may need a stone and/or wick depending on the wear of the consumable. Overall, it is a well-maintained piece, with a patina consistent with its age, ideal for a buyer seeking an authentic, premium accessory with character.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
