Large Brass and Leather Mounted French Table Lighter by Polaire of Paris, Art Deco Period

A superb and highly collectable large scale Art Deco table lighter, surviving in remarkable original condition. Dating from the 1920s, this exceptionally striking object is solidly crafted from brass, featuring beautifully engineered mechanics where all parts function smoothly, including a strong sparking flint.

The outer casing retains its original, textured leather covering, which remains in excellent condition. This decadent piece was manufactured by the prestigious Parisian firm Polaire, a company highly regarded during the interwar period for engineering premium quality luxury lighters.

Wonderfully tactile and satisfying to handle, this fine example presents a rare opportunity for collectors, as pieces from this maker are seldom found in such fabulous, well-preserved condition.

It makes for an outstanding display piece within any Art Deco interior or smoking ephemera collection.
