Product Details
Each Hand-Carved lighter begins as a solid brass body, individually hand-engraved using traditional metal engraving techniques rather than automated or laser processes.
Surface patterns are carved line by line with hand engraving gravers, with each piece requiring at least two hours of focused manual engraving.
Created exclusively within the THORENS workshop, the Hand-Carved Series reflects a Swiss-designed approach to craftsmanship where individual variation is intentionally preserved.
One-of-a-kind Swiss-designed hand-engraved fluid lighter with individually carved surface patterns.
Parts & Accessories
The THORENS Table Lighter - Capitol - Hand Carved Cracks is a refillable fluid lighter with a solid brass construction, hand-carved crack-pattern antique brass finish, sculptural bottle-shaped base, and an architectural multi-link ignition arm. Designed for users who appreciate mechanical presence and refined tabletop function, it brings weight, structure, and textured visual character into a distinctive tabletop object.
Press the multi-link ignition arm, and the spring-actuated mechanism triggers an automatic ignition sequence. The exposed linkage movement, crisp mechanical response, and substantial tabletop weight create a controlled, deliberate, and visually engaging ignition experience, making it well suited for desks, studies, lounges, and curated interior spaces.
Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid system using lighter fluid (kerosene)
– Solid brass body with hand-carved cracks of varying depth
– Hammered surface texture creating raised and recessed metal grain
– Multi-link mechanical ignition arm inspired by architectural structures
– Bottle-shaped metal base engineered for tabletop stability
This lighter is ideal for:
– Users seeking a brass table lighter with strong visual presence
– Cigar lounges, desks, or personal studies requiring a stable tabletop lighter
– Collectors who appreciate hand-finished surfaces and visible mechanical movement
It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer compact pocket lighters or everyday carry formats
– You are looking for a butane or jet-flame ignition system
Proper care and correct fuel usage help maintain consistent ignition performance and preserve the surface texture over time.

Hand-Carved Craftsmanship
Each Hand-Carved lighter begins as a solid brass body, individually hand-engraved using traditional metal engraving techniques rather than automated or laser processes.
Surface patterns are carved line by line with hand engraving gravers, with each piece requiring at least two hours of focused manual engraving.
Following engraving, each lighter is hand-finished through manual sanding, polishing, and a controlled vintage aging process to enhance depth, contrast, and tactile character.
Created exclusively within the THORENS workshop, the Hand-Carved Series reflects a Swiss-designed approach to craftsmanship where individual variation is intentionally preserved.
