Vintage white floral pattern retro decorative lighter untested

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique lighter is in the shape of a stylized car, with a white, patinated body, evoking a vintage aesthetic. The surface shows an aged effect, with numerous signs of wear and small dark spots visible all over the body, enhancing its retro character. The molded details of the body, such as the headlights, grille, doors, and wheels, are clearly visible on the top surface.

The top part of the lighter includes a curved, chrome-finished (mirror-like) windshield, which reflects light and adds a metallic touch contrasting with the white bodywork. Just behind this windshield, a rectangular window reveals an original floral decoration: a raised yellow flower accompanied by brown foliage, all on a bright orange background. The ensemble gives a very distinctive decorative appearance, typical of novelty items from the 60s-70s, although precise dating cannot be confirmed without further evidence.

The overall shape of the lighter is elongated, true to that of a stylized sports car. No brand logo or inscription is visible on the top surface. The lines of the hood, roof, and trunk are well-defined, giving the object relief. The floral motif is encapsulated in a transparent material, probably resin or plastic, but the exact material is not specified in the keywords.

The visual condition shows signs of wear consistent with an antique object: micro-scratches, rubbing marks, and slight discoloration are visible on the white body. The chrome part also shows signs of use. No major chips or cracks appear on the visible area. The object has not been tested, as indicated in the keywords.

Condition

Did you know? Novelty car-shaped lighters were particularly successful in the 1960s-1970s, often produced in Japan or Europe. They were popular for their dual utilitarian and decorative function, and some models incorporated resin decorations or floral motifs to appeal to a wide audience.
