The body features hand-etched floral and foliate motifs, giving the piece a decorative presence that reads as both functional object and tabletop sculpture. Its form and detailing reflect early 20th-century design influences, with a strong Art Deco character softened by hand-worked ornamentation.

The lighter mechanism sits in the brass body, which bears a stamped mark indicating manufacture in India, consistent with export-quality brass objects produced in the mid-20th century. The surface shows a warm aged patina throughout, highlighting the engraved patterns and adding depth to the metal finish.

The piece remains in original, unaltered condition with visible wear consistent with age and use, including surface patina and interior residue typical of vintage lighters. Dimensions: approximately 3.5" W x 2" D x 1.5" H. See less
