About the Item

Dunhill, a name synonymous with quintessential British elegance and craftsmanship, has long stood as a venerable leader in the world of luxury lighters. Established in the late 19th century, Dunhill gained prestige for creating accessories that marry functionality with timeless style. In a world where vintage Dunhill lighters become increasingly rare, the opportunity to own a piece from their archives, such as this Sylphide model, presents itself as a unique privilege for any discerning collector.
