This refined vintage S.T. Dupont lighter was crafted in 1997 as part of one of the brand’s early Limited Edition releases. Finished in radiant 24k gold and accented with deep Red natural lacquer, the piece reflects S.T. Dupont’s mastery of lacquer work and precious metal finishing during the late 1990s. Production was strictly limited to two thousand five hundred pieces worldwide, securing its status as a scarce and desirable collector example. Designed to balance elegance with dependable functionality, this lighter represents a distinctive moment in S.T. Dupont’s limited-edition history and remains an attractive addition to both collections and refined daily use.
The Harlequin’s coat, a harmless symbol that originated in the Comedia Dell Arte, suggests mystery, intrigue and happy endings. The curtains open to reveal two masks, one laughing, the other crying; comedy blended with tragedy – life itself.
This collection in red and black Chinese lacquer pays homage to the world of theatre, a celebration of life, colour and imagination. Time has left no marks on the Harlequin’s face, and the emotion he still inspires proves that no art and no creation can be accomplished without time or passion.
S.T. Dupont has both time and passion, and thus presents its “Teatro” collection: its love of life.
two pocket lighters made in Heavy Gold and Platinum finish : only 2,500 from each!
