The Savory lighter designed by Alfred Dunhill. This is a rare petrol pocket lighter, created in Switzerland by La Nationale for the Alfred Dunhill Company in Paris, back in the 1936. This semi-automatic full-size lighter is the iconic and popular Savory model, crafted with art deco patterns in solid .925/.999 sterling silver and decorated with engine turned barley patterns. This very early Dunhill lighter is highly collectible. This model was originally marketed with two names, The Savory in France and The Handy in the rest of the world Brand: Dunhill-Paris. Model: Savory Semi-automatic, full size. First Produced: 1936. Material: Solid .925 Sterling silver. Weight: 56.2 Grams, (36.03 Dwt). Measurements: 50 mm by 34 mm by 12 mm (1.97 x 1.34 x 0.47 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the silver and signed in full as follow, "ALFRED DUNHILL PARIS FAB. SUISSE STERLING MECAN AD SAVORY BREVETTE No-806949". Alfred Dunhill He inherited his father’s London saddlery in 1893. Following the increase in motor car ownership, Alfred developed the business to include motoring accessories, which he called ‘Dunhill’s Motorities’. This included goggles, timepieces, picnic sets, and leather coats, and it wasn’t long before the brand became associated with men’s general motoring attire. They opened two shops in Mayfair and had a catalogue of over 1300 items. Between the 1904 and 1905, Dunhill introduced their ‘Windshield Pipe’, to help drivers combat the effect of wind and travel on their ability to smoke. This marked both the end of the ‘motorities’ focus and their entry into the world of smoking ephemera, and they shortly opened their first tobacconist in 1907 on Duke Street. The proximity to several esteemed Private Members Clubs around the Mayfair, St James’ area ensured that the venture was a success. (From Nicholas Wells With Thanks).

British Isles Antique Map – England, Scotland & Ireland, Lapie Paris 1836 Description: A finely engraved and beautifully hand-colored early 19th-century map of the British Isles, depicting England, Scotland, and Ireland in exceptional detail. This elegant composition was published in Paris in 1836 as part of the celebrated Atlas Universel de Géographie Ancienne et Moderne by the distinguished French cartographer M. Lapie. The map presents a comprehensive view of the British Isles, with England and Wales outlined in soft red, Ireland in yellow, and Scotland in green, creating a harmonious yet highly legible composition. The dense network of towns, cities, rivers, and roads reflects the advanced state of geographic knowledge in the early 19th century, while the surrounding seas—including the Irish Sea and the North Sea—are delicately shaded, enhancing both depth and visual balance. Particularly notable is the detailed rendering of Scotland’s rugged Highlands and island groups, including the Hebrides, as well as the intricate coastline of Ireland and the dense infrastructure of England. The map captures a moment in time just prior to the height of the Victorian era, offering insight into the geographic and administrative landscape of the British Isles during a period of rapid industrial and social transformation. Lapie’s cartographic approach is characterized by clarity, precision, and refinement. Terrain is rendered through delicate hachuring, while subtle original hand coloring distinguishes political divisions without overwhelming the engraved detail. The engraving was executed by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, a member of the renowned Tardieu family of engravers, whose crisp linework ensures remarkable readability and elegance throughout. This map is highly desirable for collectors of British cartography, as well as for interior designers seeking a classic and recognizable geographic subject with strong decorative appeal. Its balanced vertical format makes it particularly suitable as a standalone statement piece in a study, library, or traditional interior. NOTE: The interior mockups are for visual inspiration only and do not represent the exact scale. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and scattered foxing, more visible in the margins. Original fold lines as issued. The engraving remains sharp and clear, with attractive original hand coloring. Plate mark visible. Framing tips: This map displays beautifully with a wide ivory or warm off-white mat and a thin dark walnut or ebonized frame. A classic museum-style presentation enhances both the color balance and the fine engraved detail. Ideal as a focal piece in a study, office, or library setting.

Three Antique Venetian Interior & Architectural Views, c.1845 This attractive set of three original hand-colored architectural prints depicts notable interiors and courtyards associated with the rich artistic and religious heritage of Venice. The plates show a magnificent basilica interior adorned with Byzantine-style mosaics and domes, a Renaissance staircase and courtyard framed by elegant arches and classical statuary, and a cloistered arcade opening onto a tranquil ecclesiastical courtyard. Together they offer a fascinating visual survey of Venetian architecture from the medieval, Byzantine, and Renaissance periods. Published in the early nineteenth century, these finely engraved views combine architectural precision with delicate hand coloring. The artist carefully rendered the interplay of light, shadow, arches, columns, vaults, and decorative details, creating images that are both historically informative and aesthetically pleasing. Such plates were produced during a period when European travelers, scholars, and collectors developed a growing fascination with Venice and its architectural treasures. The first view captures the grandeur of a church interior with soaring domes and glittering mosaic decoration, recalling the celebrated atmosphere of Venice's great basilicas. The second plate presents a monumental staircase and arcaded courtyard in a Renaissance palace setting, emphasizing symmetry, perspective, and classical design. The third view depicts a peaceful cloister framed by robust columns and Romanesque arches, illustrating the refined geometry that characterizes many Venetian religious complexes. The generous margins surrounding the engraved images are typical of deluxe nineteenth-century architectural publications and provide excellent opportunities for museum-style presentation. The subtle hand coloring enhances the atmosphere of each scene while preserving the clarity of the engraved line work. These prints would make an elegant addition to an interior focused on architecture, travel, Italy, Venice, Grand Tour imagery, or classical design. They are equally attractive displayed individually or as a coordinated group. Condition: Good antique condition. Light age toning, scattered foxing and minor handling wear consistent with age. Wide original margins preserved. Please study images carefully. Framing tips: These prints display beautifully in dark walnut, ebonized, or gilt frames with generous ivory mats. Hanging the three views together as a horizontal grouping creates a sophisticated gallery presentation reminiscent of a nineteenth-century Grand Tour collection.
