Cartier - Line d - Lighter - Gold-plated

A0000003431

The Cartier Paris lighter, made by S.T. Dupont, is presented in very good overall condition, maintaining the elegance and build quality characteristic of both houses.

The gold-plated body with a vertically brushed finish retains a warm, even shine. There are light micro-scratches and small signs of use, consistent with careful handling and in keeping with its age. No structural dents, deformations, or significant loss of plating are observed.

The edges remain well-defined and well-preserved. The lid shows proper alignment and a firm closure, with a solid hinge and no appreciable play.

The lower engraving 'Cartier Paris,' along with the S.T. Dupont mark and numbering, are well defined and legible.

How it works

The opening mechanism is precise and solid. The ignition wheel turns correctly and the lower regulation system responds adequately. The lighter ignites (if it has been tested) or requires a gas refill (depending on its current state), something common in this type of device.

Good auction!
