When Dunhill reimagined the Unique as a butane lighter in 1985, the flip arm mechanism was kept as a deliberate nod to its Art Deco heritage.

Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941 and has marked national occasions with limited editions ever since. For the bicentenary of the Revolution the maison issued a single collection that interpreted the event two ways — one historical, one contemporary — drawing together gold, silver, laque de Chine, silk and porcelain.

This lighter is one of the three pocket lighters, and belongs to the contemporary reading of the theme — the tricolour broken into an irregular mosaic of red and blue lacquer facets, divided by fine gold lines and set against polished gold, in a deliberately fractured, almost stained-glass treatment that catches the light differently from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique behind it is \u003cem\u003elaque de Chine\u003c\/em\u003e, the Chinese lacquer work S.T.

Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941, and the Ligne 2 that followed in 1977 is the model most often modified by specialists today — precisely because the mechanism is good enough to be worth the work. The wave pattern on this example is one of the more unusual finishes in the catalogue: rather than straight lines or a repeating grid, the engine-turning runs in soft concentric ripples across the whole face, closer to moiré silk than to metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe describe the dual flame honestly, because it matters. This is a \u003cstrong\u003ecustom insert\u003c\/strong\u003e, not factory specification — a specialist conversion that replaces the single jet with a twin-flame burner. It is a well-executed and popular modification that gives a broader, hotter flame better suited to cigars, and it does not affect the authenticity of the lighter itself. It simply is not how the piece left Paris, and it should be bought with that understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a genuinely useful vintage Dupont: the softness of the wave guilloché with a flame that will light a cigar outdoors.

Prince de Galles — Prince of Wales — is borrowed straight from British tailoring, and it is the most technically interesting of the engine-turned patterns Dupont applied to the line. The check is not printed or etched: the surface is divided into a grid of small squares, and the fine parallel lines inside each square are cut at alternating angles to its neighbours. That alternation is what produces the woven appearance, and it is why the pattern seems to shift between cloth and metal depending on how the light falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReference 15240 identifies this configuration exactly — the Petit Modèle in gold with the Prince of Wales pattern.

The same check compressed into the narrower case reads denser and finer than it does on a full-size body, which gives this size a formality the larger model does not quite have — the difference between a sports jacket and a suit cut from the same cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter is in excellent condition, with the check sharp across both faces and the gold showing no wear through.

Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941, and while the pocket lighters are what most collectors know, the maison also made lighters for the desk. A table lighter is a different kind of object: taller, with real presence on a desk or side table, and built around a large single flame rather than the compact burner of a pocket model. They were made in far smaller numbers than the pocket lines and are much harder to find, particularly in this condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tall body gives the engine-turned Prince of Wales pattern a much larger field to work across than a pocket case ever could, so the texture reads as a continuous surface rather than a small panel — catching the light in bands as you turn it.

Dupont produced its first luxury lighter in 1941, and the Gatsby is its most elegant pocket form: a notably slim case that sits flat in a jacket pocket and gives a pattern room to breathe. Vertical striping suits it better than almost any other finish. The lines run the full height of the narrow body and continue across the fluted roller, so the lighter reads as one tall, uninterrupted object rather than a case with a mechanism attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paperwork is what sets this example apart. The guarantee card was completed by the retailer at the point of sale, with the reference and the lighter’s own serial number written in — and that serial matches the one stamped on the base. The lighter therefore comes with its documented history from new, something most vintage Duponts lost long ago. The original red box, the service booklet and the illustrated literature are all present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ping is the other thing collectors will notice. It is the first quality to soften on a well-used lighter, and on this one it is still loud and clean.
