S.T. Dupont lighter, finished in yellow gold plating, whose design highlights the technical excellence that has historically distinguished this French manufacturer. Founded in 1872 by Simon Tissot-Dupont, S.T. Dupont began as a manufacturer of travel goods and leather goods for the European aristocracy. Starting in the first half of the 20th century, it achieved international prestige thanks to its luxury lighters, crafted from precious metals and natural lacquers applied through complex artisanal processes. The perfection of its mechanism, combined with the unmistakable metallic sound upon opening—known among collectors as the “Dupont cling”—made its creations true symbols of distinction.
Throughout its history, the company has supplied pieces to numerous royal houses, heads of state, and prominent figures in the worlds of culture and business, establishing itself as one of the most prestigious French manufacturers in the luxury goods sector.
