This vintage S.T. Dupont lighter, crafted in France in the late 20th century, exudes elegance and precision engineering. Its sleek black lacquer body is beautifully contrasted by a palladium-plated finish, lending both depth and subtle brilliance to the design. The lighter’s signature “cling” opening sound announces its high-quality construction, while the precisely machined ignition mechanism delivers a reliable flame with every use. Accompanied by its original presentation box and papers, this piece is as much a collectible treasure as it is a functional accessory, perfect for the discerning connoisseur of luxury goods.

Founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, S.T. Dupont has long stood as a benchmark of French luxury craftsmanship. Initially renowned for producing fine leather goods and travel trunks, the company expanded into writing instruments and lighters in the mid-20th century. Its lighters—distinguished by premium materials (such as precious metals and lacquers), exacting finishing techniques, and that distinctive “cling” lid—quickly became favored by international dignitaries, celebrities, and collectors. Today, S.T. Dupont continues to uphold its legacy of innovation and artisanal excellence, creating objects that blend functionality with enduring style.
