VENUS // Handcrafted Heavy Brass Petrol Lighter

Description

The VENUS petrol lighter is a statement of uncompromising manual craftsmanship and mechanical weight. Engineered from a solid hexagonal brass bar, this piece balances rugged industrial steampunk aesthetics with the historical elegance of fine numismatics.

Both sides of the hefty hexagonal body are capped with European circulation coins struck in Nordic Gold, depicting Sandro Botticelli’s iconic masterpiece, The Birth of Venus. Every component — from the knurled threaded caps to the internal hardware — is individually turned and finished by hand on the lathe.

Unlike standard pressed-sheet lighters, the VENUS is fully sealed against fuel evaporation. Equipped with dual chemical-resistant O-rings, it eliminates the common issue of dry wicks, keeping liquid fuel locked inside for extended field use or emergency readiness.

Brass Care & Patina Notice Solid brass naturally oxidizes, trading its initial bright golden shine for a muted, vintage finish. Prolonged exposure to standing moisture can generate an authentic greenish-blue patina. If carried in wet or extreme environments, dry with a soft cloth. The high-polish finish can be restored at any time using standard metal polish.
