A 1920s-30s 18ct gold Cartier cigarette lighter-cum-watch with black enamel dial offered at Boningtons (17.5% buyer’s premium) at Epping on August 21.
Such items can fall between two stools rather than have crossover appeal, but the combination of Cartier and Deco was a winning one and it sold at £10,000 to a collector in the rooms against a dealer on the phone.
