Versailles Limited Edition / Collection

An impressive group of writing instruments and lighters rendered in white lacquer with gold overlays and accents. The design motif represents Louis XIV, the Sun King, who initiated the creation of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most significant architectural masterworks in French history.

S.T. Dupont pays tribute to the craftsmanship illustrated at the Chateau de Versailles, saluting the masterpieces created not only by famous painters but also by the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who worked behind the scenes. Drawing inspiration from the sun, a theme that is omnipresent at Versailles and royal emblems like the fleur-de-lis, S.T. Dupont has created the Versailles limited edition as an expression of the French art of living.

White lacquer, decorated with motifs in fine gold, recalls the tranquil atmosphere of the chateau’s salons, its baroque-style furniture, and its richly decorated ceilings. This contrasts with the lattice motif, a decorative theme which appears throughout the range, inspired by the rectangular shapes of the Versailles French-style gardens.
