Vintage lighter with engraved pattern, gold finish, to be restored, collector's item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This vintage lighter features a slender trapezoidal silhouette, characteristic of decorative models from the mid-20th century. Its front face is adorned with an elegant engraved stylized floral pattern, centered on a smooth surface. On either side of this central area, the texture presents a geometric relief of regular diamonds, providing a striking visual contrast and a sophisticated look to the whole. The rectangular ignition opening, located at the top, is finely framed and surmounts the main decoration.

The gold finish, visible on the entire exposed surface, catches the light and highlights the engraved patterns as well as the embossed texture. The upper corners are sharp, and the lower part of the lighter rests on a straight base, reinforcing the graphic effect of the object. No explicit marks or signatures are visible on the presented face.

The lighter is placed in front of a window, on a decorative support in the Baroque style, but only the lighter is concerned by this listing. No internal mechanism or other side is visible in the photo, in accordance with description rules. The general condition shows a slight patina and some traces of use, typical of an old object that requires restoration or refurbishment to function.

The compact shape and refined decoration evoke the productions of the Art Deco period or the 1950s-1960s, without precise dating being confirmed in the absence of other clues.
