Lalique - Table lighter - Crystal

Lalique France – Lion Head – Table lighter in crystal – Vintage

Description:

Elegant Lalique France “Tête de Lion” table lighter, made of transparent and frosted crystal.

The body features a refined sculptural decoration with lion heads, modeled in crystal to reflect the typical Lalique contrast between transparent, glossy, and frosted surfaces.

The upper part houses the metal lighter mechanism, inserted into the crystal body. Note: it was not possible to verify the lighter’s operation. The mechanism needs refilling and, given the object’s age, may require overhaul or replacement. It is therefore sold without any warranty of operation.

At the base there is an engraved signature “Lalique France,” visible in the photographs, together with an old “Made in France” sticker. Three small cork protective supports are also present at the bottom.

Vintage specimen from the second half of the 20th century, roughly attributed to the 1970s–1980s.

The object presents itself in good vintage condition, with normal light traces of time and use. Please study the photographs carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.

A refined collectible and desk piece, representative of Lalique’s decorative production in the 20th century.
