The piece stands out with its elegant embossed decoration in an Art Deco style, giving it a refined and timeless character. The lighter is made of metal with a beautifully detailed front plate and comes with its original cord, adding to its vintage appeal. Marked “DÉPOSÉ,” indicating a registered design, which enhances its collectible value. Please note: The lighter is not in working condition.
