About the Item
A rare and elegant piece from the golden age of American design, this original 1939 Avedon tabletop lighter showcases the iconic Streamline style in sterling silver. Created by Avedon New York, a prestigious luxury brand founded in 1930's, the lighter reflects the company’s reputation for exquisite craftsmanship and timeless sophistication.35
The Avedon Lighter was originally designed in 1938 by Harvey Avedon as a personal gift for his fiancée, Drusilla. Following the closure of Strikalite, Ltd., Harvey Avedon transitioned into fine jewelry and luxury goods, producing both pocket and tabletop lighters in sterling silver. These were also made for Tiffanys.'
This sterling silver version exemplifies the mid-century modern aesthetic, with sleek, clean lines and a refined silhouette. A true collector's piece, it captures the elegance and innovation of postwar American design.
