Vintage March 1996 S.T. Dupont “Fantasia” Limited Edition Heavy 24k Gold Bauhaus Geometry Architectural Letterform Natural Lacquer Lighter

This S.T. Dupont Fantasia Limited Edition lighter, released in March 1996, is an exceptionally rare collector example distinguished by its luxurious heavy 24k gold finish and intricate hand‑applied natural lacquer decoration inspired by Bauhaus architectural letterform design. Reflecting Dupont’s artistic experimentation during the mid‑1990s, the piece combines avant‑garde geometric aesthetics with the Maison’s renowned precision engineering and refined construction. Only a very small number of Fantasia models were produced in heavy gold finish, making this one of the two known variations within the Fantasia Ligne series. Preserved as a complete full‑set example with its original box and documents, it represents a highly desirable vintage acquisition suited for elite collections and careful ownership.
