Dunhill Lift Lighter For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic dunhill lift lighter available at 1stDibs. A dunhill lift lighter — often made from metal, silver and sterling silver — can elevate any home. Whether you’re looking for an older or newer dunhill lift lighter, there are earlier versions available from the 20th Century and newer variations made as recently as the 20th Century. A dunhill lift lighter, designed in the Art Deco or mid-century modern style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. You’ll likely find more than one dunhill lift lighter that is appealing in its simplicity, but Dunhill, Alfred Dunhill and Taxco produced versions that are worth a look.

Finding the Right Tobacco-accessories for You

Antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories are not typically works of art, but, even if you’ve kicked the habit, an ornate mid-century modern ashtray, bronze cigar cutter or Art Deco cigarette case — collector’s items, all — will prove to be a unique accent piece for your bar cart, coffee table or mantel.

Cigar connoisseurs know the value of a good cigar box or humidor. Humidors safely store cigars at the right temperature so they don’t retain moisture and deteriorate in quality. Depending on the size and type of cigar, a cigar cutter is also an important accessory for the consummate cigar smoker. There are guillotine cutters, cigar scissors, V-cutters and punch cutters. These tools are useful, but, as part of a 19th-century upgrade for your contemporary desk, antique tobacco accessories are also a fun way to integrate personal expression into your workday. A sleek vintage cigarette case or lighter can introduce some pizzazz to the shelves of your home library or any other surface where you display your collectibles.

While ashtrays might not immediately strike you as interesting and provocative objects that deserve to be part of your decor, these accessories have taken on all manner of forms and styles over the years. Old glass ashtrays, which are quite popular and easily found in free-form, organic shapes, can be a purely decorative final touch when styling a coffee table. Visionary designers such as Isamu Noguchi — one of the most prolific and protean creative forces of the 20th century — popularized the idea of tobacco accessories as art with projects such as his decorative ashtrays.

Discover an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage tobacco accessories for your home today on 1stDibs.
