FAQs

During the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, silversmiths frequently crafted table lighters in the shape of ancient Greco-Roman oil lamps. These decorative novelties brought classical antiquity aesthetics into domestic smoking rooms and private clubs.

High-grade antique table lighters were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often featuring gold gilding (vermeil) to prevent tarnish and add luxury. The internal mechanism typically contained a cotton wick submerged in a reservoir for liquid fuel.

Authentic British silver lighters feature official assay hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), and a specific date letter denoting the year of manufacture.

An antique table lighter serves as an intriguing decorative accent when placed atop a stack of books on a coffee table, displayed inside a glass cabinet, or positioned on a dark wood study desk alongside traditional brass accessories.

Silver gilt features a thin layer of gold over sterling silver, requiring gentle care to prevent wearing away the gilded finish. Clean softly using a dry, non-abrasive microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical silver dips or abrasive polishes.
