S.T. Dupont - Line 1 - Pocket lighter - Lacquer

Exquisite high-end pocket lighter made in France by the prestigious luxury firm S.T. Dupont, corresponding to the iconic Ligne 1 design in its Grande chassis version.

This vintage piece combines an elegant rectangular body made of high-quality gold-plated metal with front and side panels finished in authentic natural Chinese lacquer (Laque de Chine) in a sophisticated and vibrant burgundy red tone.

As a mark of utmost exclusivity for collectors, the front panel bears gold-engraved Chinese characters 都彭 (Dū péng), the official phonetic transcription of "Dupont" used by the French house in its special natural lacquer editions during the 1960s and 1970s.

The lighter features an external flame adjustment system via a horizontal cog wheel (BS/BR variant) located under the cap, representative of manufacturing in the 1970s.

At the base it bears the official stamp of the stylized leaf certifying natural lacquer, the brand's stamped marks, the origin "Made in France" and its hand-engraved serial number: Z6EK56.
