A vintage gold plated lighter by Dunhill, England, late 20th century
This vintage gold-plated “Rollagas” lighter by Dunhill, England, was crafted in Switzerland in the late 20th century, epitomising refined elegance and superior functionality. Its gleaming gold-plated body is adorned with a precise diamond-cut pattern that catches the light with every turn, while the iconic Rollagas mechanism delivers a smooth, reliable flame at the twist of the cap. Compact yet substantial in hand, this lighter combines luxurious materials with Dunhill’s renowned engineering, making it both a practical tool and a statement of sophisticated taste.
Founded in London in 1893 by Alfred Dunhill, the brand quickly became synonymous with innovation in men’s accessories and luxury goods. Dunhill introduced the first petrol-fueled lighter, patented the Rollagas mechanism in the 1920s, and earned royal warrants for its craftsmanship. Today, Dunhill continues to uphold its heritage of precision engineering and timeless design, producing accessories, from lighters to leather goods, that blend traditional British elegance with modern functionality.
