An elegant S.T. Dupont Ligne 1 large size lighter in silver plate, featuring a refined combination of vertical fluting and diamond-point engraving. The alternating polished stripes and textured panels create a sophisticated interplay of light, a hallmark of Dupont’s understated yet luxurious design language.

Crafted in Paris, this model embodies the precision engineering and clean architectural lines that defined Dupont production from the 1960s through the 1980s. The large format offers a substantial weight in hand and produces the unmistakable clear “ping” on opening, a signature detail prized by collectors. The silver-plated finish gives the piece a cooler, more restrained aesthetic compared to gold models, while still maintaining a strong presence and timeless appeal. A classic example of French luxury craftsmanship, ideal for collectors or daily use.

Founded in Paris in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, S.T. Dupont began as a maker of fine leather goods before expanding into writing instruments and luxury lighters in the mid-20th century. Each lighter is hand-assembled and rigorously tested, reflecting Dupont’s enduring commitment to artisanal excellence and innovation. Today, S.T. Dupont continues to set the standard for luxury accessories, blending heritage techniques with contemporary design.
