Description from the seller

This exclusive Christian Dior lighter in silver presents a remarkable condition for a piece of its category and age. Its silver body shows the characteristic repetitive engraving “CD,” with a well-defined and uniform relief, with no loss of pattern or flattened areas, maintaining an authentic and elegant appearance.

The metallic surface exhibits natural and homogeneous wear, typical of the passage of time on silver pieces, which adds character without affecting structural integrity. No dents, dings, or deformations that would alter the lighter's original shape are observed.

The cap preserves a good fit, opens and closes firmly and without significant play, maintaining the solid feel typical of high-end lighters. The internal mechanism works correctly: the ignition responds well and the flame remains steady, a sign that its gasoline system is operational.

On the base, the engravings “Christian Dior – Paris” and the corresponding number are fully legible, confirming authenticity and provenance. The hinge, wheel, and chimney show normal wear from use, but without damage that would compromise their function.

Overall, this is an original Dior lighter, functional and aesthetically well preserved, ideal for collectors, vintage silver accessory enthusiasts, or those seeking a luxury piece with presence and character.

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

Good luck with your bid!
