A black lacquer Cartier lighter with softly rounded edges, a crisp silver-tone band engraved “CARTIER,” and a clean, confident flame—this piece immediately draws the eye with its restrained elegance and reassuring weight. The deep black lacquer shows a smooth, glossy finish that contrasts beautifully with the polished metal accents. The proportions feel carefully balanced in the hand, and the opening action has that familiar Cartier composure—quiet, controlled, and deliberate. Examples with this level of finish and intact presence don’t appear frequently, making it especially appealing to collectors who value understated refinement. [Appearance] The black lacquer exterior shows light surface wear and fine scratches consistent with age and careful use, most visible under strong light. The metal trim and base display minor scuffs, but retain a bright sheen and clear engravings. Overall, the lighter presents as a well-preserved and honest example with strong visual appeal.
