This extremely rare vintage Factory Solid Silver hand made Cartier lighter from the early 1970s is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with deep natural dark green lacquer, presented in the iconic oval Must de Cartier form.

As one of Cartier’s earliest and most sought‑after lighter designs, this model was produced in very limited numbers due to the high cost and complexity of working with solid sterling silver combined with natural lacquer finishes. The result is a refined and elegant piece that reflects Cartier’s commitment to craftsmanship and luxury during its early lighter production era.

A true collector’s piece, combining heritage, rarity, and timeless design—seldom found on the market in this configuration.
