S.T. Dupont - Encendedor de mesa (Desk Lighter)...

A0000005432 S.T. DUPONT “SKYSCRAPER” GILT TABLE LIGHTER (FRANCE, 1970s): We are pleased to offer at auction a genuine symbol of 1970s status and elegance: an imposing S.T. Dupont table lighter, known among collectors as the “Skyscraper” model for its spectacular architectural, vertical design. Unlike pocket models, this piece was designed to grace executive offices and luxurious living rooms. It stands out for its impressive dimensions of 14 cm in height, 4 cm in width, and 1.4 cm in thickness, giving it extraordinary weight and presence in the hand. The entire body is covered in sumptuous yellow gold plating and masterfully decorated with the French house’s iconic “Pointes de Diamant” (Diamond Points) guilloché pattern, creating a dazzling play of light and reflections. The base of the lighter bears all the hallmarks of authenticity: the “S.T. Dupont de PARIS” signature, “MADE IN FRANCE,” the maker’s mark, and its individual serial number. Condition (Expert Assessment) Bidders are kindly asked to examine the photo gallery carefully, as it forms an essential part of the description.
