Description from the seller

Dominates the room with a true giant of French luxury design. Standing at an monumental height of 14 centimeters, this is the legendary Jumbo desktop lighter “Jeroboam” by S.T. Dupont, one of the largest and most prestigious objects ever produced by the Maison. It features the highly sought-after guilloché engraving “Diplomat” (Square Tartan), which transforms the massive silver body into an architectural sculpture that captures and reflects light like a prism. Designed for a top-tier cigar lounge experience or as a centerpiece on a executive’s desk, it commands attention with its imposing weight and unmistakable historic prestige. Kept in its original blue presentation box with the gold Dupont monogram, this rare masterpiece represents an elite investment opportunity for world-renowned connoisseurs. Technical and structural details: The lot includes an authentic colossal Jeroboam desktop lighter from S.T. Dupont with a thick, heavy silver-plated finish on solid brass. The intricate “Diplomat” geometric pattern is perfectly preserved on all of its massive facets. The oversized bottom plate bears official stamps and individually hand-engraved serial numbers. Supplied with its original luxury blue box from the era. Condition report: The desktop lighter is in splendid and exemplary vintage condition. The silver plating shows a wonderful shine with only minor and uniform micro-scratches (fine scratches) and subtle aging marks consistent with its age. The hinge alignment is perfect and the heavy mechanical parts operate smoothly with solid resistance to touch. Stamps and official serial number engraved under the base (S.T. Dupont Paris / Made in France). The lot will be properly packed and shipped with agreed couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not made.
