AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage lighter features an instantly recognizable design with its tapered silhouette and Art Deco aesthetic, highlighted by its clean lines and geometric details. The main surface, in blue, has a satin finish enhanced by two wide gold bands at the center and ends, creating an elegant and refined visual contrast. The item is presented in a burgundy velvet-lined case, which emphasizes its precious appearance and high-end positioning.

On the upper part, a golden area houses the ignition mechanism, of which only the outlines are visible. A thin slot on the blue side hints at the location of the flint mechanism, characteristic of lighters from the first half of the 20th century. The golden finishes show a natural patina and some signs of wear, typical of an old object that has gone through decades.

The blue surface shows slight superficial marks and scratches, indicative of previous use, without compromising the overall solidity. The slightly convex oval shape ensures an excellent grip and is reminiscent of popular pocket lighter models from the 1930s to 1950s. No logo or brand inscription is visible on the displayed side.

The wooden case, with its dark decor and fine moldings, completes the elegant presentation of this lighter. The interior is lined with deep red velvet, enhancing the preciousness of the object. A pearl necklace is also visible in the photo, but it is not included in the sale (decorative element of the visual).

This vintage lighter is a sought-after decorative accessory, ideal for decorating an office, a display cabinet, or a retro chic ambiance. It can also serve as a centerpiece in an Art Deco scenography or to accessorize a period decor.
