The item measures 8 cm high and 7.5 cm wide. It functions as a decorative accessory suited for display and use on an office desk.

FAQs

A Victorian table lighter is a stationary smoking accessory designed to remain on a desk or tabletop, providing a flame for pipes and cigars using oil or spirit.

Table lighters from the nineteenth century were commonly crafted from sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver, often decorated with hand-chased or repousse motifs.

Authentic pieces generally display official hallmark stamps indicating silver purity, city of origin, and date letters, accompanied by crisp hand-worked decorative detailing.

A silver table lighter functions well as a decorative accent on a wooden office desk, styled on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes, or placed on a sideboard tray.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply a non-abrasive silver polish periodically, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage original hand-engraved details or remove natural oxidisation.
