About the Item
A rare early 20th century table cigar lighter in the form of a dragon, made in England circa 1910. The body and tail are crafted from antelope horn, with silver-plated detailing, a style typically associated with military mess tables of the period.
This example is believed to be by Walker & Hall or a similar maker known for such silver work.
The dragon’s head is articulated, allowing it to swivel and be directed toward either side of a dining or occasional table. A tamper stick, shaped like an arrow, is inserted into the upper body, and a snuffer on a chain is attached. One foot rests on a flaming grenade, a clear nod to its military heritage.
Designed in the Victorian tradition, this type of lighter would feature a continuously burning wick for guests to light their cigars after meals.
This example remains in excellent condition, both structurally and aesthetically.
