About the Item

An early 20th century Dunhill ‘Giant’ table lighter, produced in England circa 1920–30 and finished in segmented shagreen with beautifully muted tones. The piece is in excellent condition, with a fully functioning lighter mechanism. The Dunhill logo appears in scrolled lettering, and the base is marked with registered numbers. Shagreen, traditionally made from shark or ray skin, became especially popular during the Art Deco period for its distinctive texture and refined appearance. Dunhill, established in 1893 by Alfred Dunhill, gained prominence for its finely crafted men’s accessories, with lighters becoming among the most iconic and collectible.
