FAQs

Table lighters became popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries as refined smoking accessories for drawing rooms, smoking rooms, and executive desks, often crafted by premier silversmiths.

They were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, brass, or bronze, frequently incorporating internal cotton wicks and fluid reservoirs fuelled by kerosene or benzine.

Authenticity is determined by examining makers marks, hallmarks, the quality of hand-chased or faceted metalwork, and the presence of period-appropriate mechanical components.

It can be displayed as a sophisticated objet dart on a coffee table tray, bookshelf, or executive desk alongside books and decorative objects.

Preserve the metal by using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage intricate details or historic patina.
