{"title":"Solid Gold S.T. Dupont Lighters","description":"\u003cp\u003eSolid 18 carat gold is the top of the S.T. Dupont catalogue, and always has been. The house produced its first lighter in gold in 1941, and by the 1960s was selling a formal range under the heading \u003cem\u003eor contrôlé 18 carats\u003c\/em\u003e — assayed gold, hallmarked like fine jewellery, and priced at roughly ten times the equivalent gold-plated model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are not plated lighters. A solid gold Dupont carries the French eagle’s head assay punch and a 750 or 18K fineness mark, never a micron figure, and the weight is immediately obvious in the hand. Every piece we list is serviced, in perfect working order, and photographed with its hallmarks visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid gold examples come up rarely, so this collection is small by nature.

Dupont Ligne D Lighter – One of a Kind – Serial No. 0144 – Excellent Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA truly unique solid gold S.T. Dupont Ligne D lighter, factory-fitted with an 18k gold jacket over its brass shell — a one-of-a-kind, rare vintage Dupont lighter with no other known example in this pattern, preserved in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eS.T. Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941, and by the time it introduced the Ligne D — nicknamed the \"Lady\" — in 1989, the maison had spent decades refining the compact, precision-engineered lighters collectors prize today. At just 32 x 9 x 54mm, the Ligne D remains the smallest gas lighter S.T. Dupont ever produced, combining ultra-portable discretion with the same dual-port fuel and flame-adjustment system used on the larger Ligne 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular Ligne D is a genuinely rare find: a solid 18k gold sleeve fitted at the factory over a bare brass shell, a construction shared by all solid gold Ligne D models but, in this specific pattern, never seen elsewhere. The underside carries the hallmarks of 18k gold, the S.T. Dupont logo, and the serial number 0144, confirming its authenticity and giving it full provenance. The lighter is in excellent condition, has been serviced, and is in perfect working order — an exceptionally rare, solid gold, one-of-a-kind vintage S.T. Dupont lighter for the serious collector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avenue of Aesthetic Lighters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58516109033797,"sku":"STD-LD-003","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/3161\/0693\/files\/std-ld-003-unique-solid-18k-gold-s-t-dupont-ligne-d-lighter-1.jpg?v=1786365170"}],"url":"https:\/\/avenueofaesthetic.com\/collections\/solid-gold-st-dupont-lighters.oembed","provider":"Avenue of Aesthetic Lighters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
