Cigars Table Lighters, Elkington & Co., 1889
Artist: Elkington & Co
Cigar table lighter in silver plated, Elkington & Co.
Victorian era, late 19th century.
The lighter is composed of a shaped base that supports a central tank decorated with garlands that connects the fuel to a pod. The lateral cylindrical elements served as housing for small chopsticks that were lit by the central flame to then light the guests' cigars.
Ebonized wooden base.
Good conditions with some traces of oxidation.
Below the base are the hallmarks of the English manufactory Elkington & CO which was one of the most important British silverware manufacturers, famous for having revolutionized the sector through the invention and improvement of the galvanic technique (electroplating).
Founded in Birmingham in 1824 by the brothers George Richards and Henry Elkington, the company dominated the market in the 19th century.
The letters A1 indicate an excellent production quality.
The initials with a dedication and the year 1889 are also engraved.
