The everyday beauty of Silver, brought to you by {name}

Chiara Scotto Pasanisi dei Foscarini

Rare and highly decorative German “Permanent Match” (petrol wick lighter) by Sarastro, dating from the Art Deco period.

Made of 935 sterling silver, the entire surface is covered with refined geometric niello decoration, giving the piece a distinctly modernist Bauhaus-inspired appearance.
The removable lighter element is topped with an amethyst-coloured cabochon glass finial.

The original internal wick mechanism is still present.
Clearly marked on the base:
“SARASTRO STERLING 935”.

An attractive early 20th century collector’s piece combining tobacciana, Art Deco design and fine silver craftsmanship.

Dimensions:
Height: 4.7 cm
Width: 2.2 cm
Weight: 15 grams

Condition:
Good antique condition with signs of age and use.
Minor wear, light deformation and surface marks may be present.
The niello decoration remains well preserved overall.
Please study the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.

Will be carefully packed and shipped insured with tracking.
