Hades
Sterling Silver Storm Lighter

Hades is the final chapter of the collaboration between Olivier Ledroit and Flibustier Paris: a storm lighter sculpted entirely in solid 925 sterling silver. A roaring lion's head crowns the lid, its mane surging in waves across the cover, three skulls line up beneath its jaws and serrated arches bristle along the sides. Mixed finish: mirror-polished reliefs, hollows darkened in the antique manner.

“In the mystery cults of antiquity, the god of the underworld symbolises the subterranean forces of the universe, the forces of the untameable unconscious. I have often painted him in my series Hades and Persephone, the Maiden and Death.” - Olivier Ledroit

Limited and numbered edition of 66: each lighter bears its number on the plate at the back. Zorro storm insert. Handmade in France in the Flibustier Paris workshop.
