S.T. Dupont Lighter - Ligne 2 Picasso/Palladium

Ever since its establishment in 1872, S.T. Dupont has represented L'art de Vivre, the "Art of Living," curating French lifestyle through their luxurious array of pens, stationery, leather accessories, and esteemed lighters. The brand's outstanding quality combines with preeminent innovation in the Ligne 2 soft-flame lighter. Its surface features the meticulous, detailed work of Guilloche, a precise decorative technique that dates back to the 17th century when it was originally applied to metals. Guilloche is renowned for the intricate patterns it's capable of creating through engine turning, mechanically engraving the surface of an object. Presented in a variety of finishes, this limited-edition Picasso example features one of Pablo Picasso's iterations on the Portrait of Jacqueline with Straw Hat stamped on the side. A tribute to Jaqcueline herself, Picasso's last wife, and commemorative of the 50th anniversary of Picasso's death in 1963, the 1962 portrait is presented against a body of glimmering palladium that allows the artist's work to stand out brilliantly. One of 1,962 Ligne 2 lighters created for the series, this lighter comes offered in a sumptuous presentation case.
