This exquisite S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 lighter represents the brand’s signature blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and precision engineering. Made in France, it features panels of genuine Chinese lacquer in a deep black tone, beautifully contrasted with palladium-plated metal trim. The bottom is engraved with “S.T. Dupont PARIS,” “MADE IN FRANCE,” and the hallmark “Laque de Chine,” confirming authenticity and craftsmanship. [Appearance] The lacquer panels retain a rich, glossy finish, complementing the refined palladium body. Light surface scratches and minor plating wear are present from normal use, particularly around the edges and base, but overall condition remains good. The lacquer surface remains smooth and reflective, showcasing Dupont’s artisanal lacquer work. [Functionality] Ignition and flame operation have been confirmed. As with most vintage S.T. Dupont lighters, we recommend refilling the gas and performing maintenance for consistent long-term use. A highly collectible model that embodies S.T. Dupont’s timeless Parisian luxury and technical excellence. Flint and gas will be removed before shipping. Please refill before use.
