Lighter - .915 silver

Exclusive Cognac Cup Warmer / Table Lighter "Swan" in 915 Fine Silver - Spain, 20th Century

Description of the Lot
Exquisite and unique piece of Spanish silversmithing made in 915 thousandths fine silver. This refined desk-side item is designed specifically as a high-end cognac or brandy cup warmer (table lighter). Its structure adopts the elegant organic silhouette of a swan with wings spread and chipped in detail, perched on a reflective oval base.

The design is both aesthetic and functional: the bird's neck and the curved rear support form the perfect stand to hold a balloon glass in the ideal position for tempering the liquor. In the center, the swan's back houses the original reservoir for alcohol or fuel, equipped with its wick and a diffuser stopper connected by a delicate safety chain. When lit, it provides the gentle heat necessary to enhance the aromas before tasting. An exceptional showroom piece, ideal for silver collectors and connoisseurs of distilled spirits.
