The deep red lacquer body framed by warm gold accents is one of the most iconic expressions of the Must de Cartier line. Unlike guilloché or mirror-polished metal, the lacquer finish offers a smooth, almost jewelry-like presence, with color taking center stage. This vivid red tone, paired with the classic Cartier proportions, gives the lighter a timeless elegance that feels unmistakably Cartier. [Appearance] The red lacquer surfaces show light surface scratches and tiny marks consistent with age and gentle use, visible mainly under close inspection or reflected light. The gold-plated edges and base display minor wear and fine scratches, typical for a vintage piece. The lacquer remains glossy and evenly colored, and the Cartier markings on the base are clear and legible. Overall, it presents as a well-kept example with an attractive balance of shine and patina.
