Dunhill, Art Deco onyx and brass table lighter with matching ashtray - Table lighter - Onyx, Brass - (2)

Dunhill Onyx and Brass Table Lighter with Matching Ashtray, England c. 1930s–1940s A superb and weighty Art Deco Dunhill table lighter set, comprising a gilt-brass and onyx lighter with its original matching ashtray stand. The lighter features a sculptural body in milky white onyx with warm veining, intersected by vertical brass bands. It retains the original Dunhill patent lift-arm mechanism, with the signature engraved on the bridge. The matching onyx base echoes the same stepped geometric lines, typical of Dunhill’s luxurious smoking accessories from the interwar and early post-war years. Together, they exemplify the Art Deco marriage of luxury materials and precision engineering for which Dunhill became world-renowned — equally at home on a collector’s desk or a refined mid-century interior. The underside of the lighter is stamped ‘Made in England’, confirming authenticity and manufacture in Dunhill’s English workshops. Total weight: 762 g Stand: 10 × 8.7 × 2.5 cm / 3.94″ × 3.43″ × 0.98″, 438 g Lighter: Height 7 cm / 2.75″, Width 7.2 cm / 2.83″, Depth 4.1 cm / 1.61″, 324 g Very good overall visual condition. The stand shows minimal tiny nicks on the ridges, otherwise excellent with a smooth polished surface. The lighter has one small chip to the top edge of the onyx, otherwise in excellent condition. Mechanism present but untested for functionality. The brass retains a warm vintage patina consistent with age. Please take time to view all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and provide an accurate representation of the item’s details and condition. The shipping cost includes professional packaging, full insurance, and tracked delivery, ensuring the parcel reaches you safely and securely.
