This silver table lighter dates from the Art Deco period of 1928 during the reign of King George V. The piece takes an attractive trefoil form with a three-lobed base and a central upright nozzle holding a thick cotton wick. Manufactured by Mappin & Webb, the silver-plated item displays a polished finish with a knurled screw fitting at the base of the nozzle and an exposed, frayed fabric wick projecting from the top. Full clear hallmarks appear on the base alongside a matching part mark on the removable wick holder. Measuring 6 cm high, 9.3 cm wide, and 9.3 cm deep, this practical and decorative table lighter fits neatly onto a gentleman's library or office desk. The item serves as a functional desktop accessory for lighting pipes, cigars, or candles, while also operating as a display object on a writing table or shelf in a study.

FAQs

A silver table lighter is a stationary lighting device, often fuelled by spirit or liquid fuel with a wick, designed to sit on a desk or sideboard to light cigars or cigarettes.

These pieces are typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring brass or steel internal mechanisms and a woven cotton wick.

Authentic silver lighters generally feature hallmark stampings or makers marks indicating silver purity and manufacture year, alongside signs of hand-finishing on internal screw threads.

It can be placed on a dark wood desk, bookshelf, or tray as a tactile metallic accent piece within a study or living area.

Gently polish the silver surface using a specialised silver polishing cloth and liquid cleaner, avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemical abrasives.
