Description from the seller

The glossy black panels and sharp gold-tone borders give this Must de Cartier lighter a really smart look. I especially like the clean rectangular shape and the little Cartier signature near the base. A timeless black-and-gold combination that easily catches the eye at auction, with just the right touch of vintage character.


[Appearance]
This is a vintage Must de Cartier lighter featuring elegant black lacquer-style panels framed by gold-tone metal edges.
The tall, slim rectangular body has a distinctive geometric design, with straight gold-colored borders separating the glossy black surfaces. The contrast is simple but striking, giving the lighter a refined Art Deco-inspired appearance.
A small gold "must de Cartier" signature is displayed near the bottom of the front panel, adding a subtle and recognizable detail.
The angular flip-top lid follows the same black-and-gold design, while the exposed gold-tone ignition mechanism adds a nice mechanical touch. Personally, I really like how the squared-off lid and clean lines come together on this model.

There are visible fine scratches, light scuffs, and signs of age-related wear on the black surfaces and gold-tone edges. Some discoloration and patina can also be seen around the ignition mechanism and inside the lid.
However, the black panels still retain an attractive sheen, and the gold-colored borders continue to define the elegant geometric design beautifully.
The natural wear gives it an authentic vintage feel without taking away from its overall charm.
A stylish piece for Cartier enthusiasts, vintage lighter collectors, or anyone who appreciates classic black-and-gold accessories.
