Vintage old petrol lighter, metallic finish, untested, as is

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique vintage lighter, presented here, is characterized by its compact and rounded shape, typical of mid-20th century table lighters. Its outer surface features a slightly satin silver metallic finish, with visible signs of wear on the upper part, revealing an authentic patina. The flint wheel and hinged lid ignition mechanism is clearly visible, highlighting robust and meticulous mechanical craftsmanship, characteristic of older models.

The lighter is presented in an elegant case with a gold rim and burgundy velvet interior, adding a touch of refinement to the ensemble. The contrast between the metal's shine and the velvet's softness enhances the object under natural light, also revealing some signs of use on the lighter's body. No markings or logos are visible on the exposed face.

The upper part of the lighter reveals the flint ignition system and the serrated wheel, as well as a hinged cap. The base of the lighter features two circular elements, likely related to tank refilling or the screwing system, typical of refillable petrol lighters. No superfluous decorative elements are visible, which accentuates the object's sober and utilitarian style.

The slightly curved shape of the body, combined with the silver finish, recalls models produced between the 1940s and 1960s. The choice of a case with ornate contours and deep velvet suggests a ceremonial or desk use, reinforcing the decorative aspect of the lighter.
