Description from the seller
Elegant vintage pocket lighter crafted in solid sterling silver, featuring a finely executed engine-turned (guilloché) pattern on the body and lid. The geometric wave motif is crisp and evenly applied, giving the piece a refined tactile and visual depth typical of high-quality mid-century silver work.
The lighter has a hinged flip-top lid that opens and closes smoothly and aligns well with the body. The flint wheel mechanism is intact, with clear mechanical detailing visible at the top. The underside bears stamped markings, including “Paris” and a silver hallmark indicating sterling silver content, consistent with French manufacture.
The silver surface shows natural patina and light surface wear, including fine scratches and small signs of use, all in keeping with age and lending the piece authentic vintage character. No major dents or structural damage are observed.
Condition
- Vintage condition
- Light surface wear and patina consistent with age
- Mechanism present (function not tested)
Material
- Solid sterling silver (hallmarked)
Origin
- France (Paris)
This lighter is an excellent example of classic French silver craftsmanship, suitable for collectors of vintage lighters, silver objects, or refined smoking accessories. It also displays beautifully as a decorative object.
A tasteful and timeless piece with both collectible and aesthetic value.
