A refined S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 lighter, crafted in France in the late 20th century, distinguished by its richly textured gold-plated finish and intricate engine-turned decoration. The rectangular body is fully adorned with a repeating geometric pattern composed of interlocking diamond and linear motifs, creating a dynamic surface that catches and reflects light with remarkable depth and precision.

This decorative treatment elevates the lighter beyond a functional object, aligning it with the traditions of fine metalwork and luxury accessories. The symmetrical patterning extends across the body and lid, reinforcing the architectural clarity of the Ligne 2 form, while the polished edges provide a subtle contrast to the textured surfaces. The vertically ribbed ignition column adds both tactile functionality and visual balance to the composition.

As a Ligne 2 model, it features the brand’s signature hinged cap, engineered to produce the characteristic resonant “ping” upon opening—an iconic hallmark of S.T. Dupont craftsmanship. The base is engraved “S.T. Dupont – Paris – Made in France” along with a serial number, and the lighter is presented in its original fitted box, further enhancing its collectibility.

The combination of gold-plated metal and precise geometric engraving reflects the elegant, decorative sensibility of the late 20th century, where craftsmanship and bold surface design were brought into harmonious balance. A striking and collectible Ligne 2 example, notable for its rich surface pattern and enduring craftsmanship.

Condition: good vintage condition with light surface wear, minor scratches, and slight rubbing to the gold plating consistent with age and use. The presentation box shows visible signs of age, including interior discoloration. Mechanism present; working order not tested at time of cataloguing. Please refer to photographs.
