This Christopher Lawrence solid sterling silver Dunhill Rollagas table lighter dates from the period after 1960 and carries London hallmarks for 1979 in the Mid-Century Modern style. The piece presents a bright silver finish with an engine-turned feather wave or chevron pattern across its tall, faceted body and fluted base, accompanied by a side-mounted roller mechanism and its original brown display box bearing gold lettering. Measuring 14.5 cm in height, the lighter tapers from 4 cm down to 1.9 cm. In a contemporary home, this solid silver desk accessory suits placement on an office desk or within a gentleman's library setting.

FAQs

During the mid-to-late 20th century, luxury houses such as Dunhill collaborated with renowned British silversmiths to create textured, architectural silver casings for their mechanical lighters, moving away from plain polished surfaces to tactile engine-turned pattern work.

These pieces feature solid sterling silver outer sleeves or casings stamped with British hallmark guarantees, housing inner mechanical components made from brass, steel, and specialised butane gas valves.

Authentic examples bear official British silver hallmarks including the makers mark for Christopher Lawrence, the silver purity stamp, town mark, date letter, and official Dunhill brand engraved markings on the base.

A silver table lighter functions as a decorative object placed atop stacked art books on a coffee table, beside a tray on a sideboard, or positioned as a paperweight accent on an executive desk.

Clean the silver casing periodically with a soft silver-polishing cloth to prevent tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that could seep into the internal gas mechanism or damage original patina.
