SILVER LIGHTHOUSE-FORM LIGHTER, SHORT & MASON, BIRMINGHAM, 1931

A rare collectible silver lighter in the shape of a lighthouse, created in 1931 in Birmingham by the renowned firm Short & Mason, known for precision instruments and refined desk accessories. Reflecting the aesthetics of British Art Deco, the piece combines sculptural elegance with functionality. The upper section is designed as a removable lantern with a hinged lid concealing the wick and flint. The square base includes a compartment for batteries. The bottom is lined with green felt to protect surfaces.

The symbolic lighthouse form lends architectural clarity and depth of meaning, evoking light, guidance and assurance. This lighter is a rare and stylish object, worthy of a gentleman’s study or cigar lounge where early 20th-century engineering elegance is appreciated.
