This S.T. Dupont Fantasia Limited Edition lighter, released in March 1996, is an exceptionally rare collector example distinguished by its refined heavy platinum finish and intricate hand‑applied natural lacquer decoration featuring a Neo‑Classical mythological Eros (Cupid) motif interpreted in a subtle Pop‑Art style. Reflecting Dupont’s artistic experimentation during the mid‑1990s, the design blends classical inspiration with contemporary decorative expression while preserving the Maison’s renowned precision engineering and balanced construction. Produced in very limited numbers, this seldom‑seen Fantasia variation offers strong visual identity and collector significance.
