Description from the seller
Monumental ashtray on a brass and cut crystal base
An elegant and imposing table ashtray, a splendid example of mid-20th-century decorative craftsmanship. This piece is not only a functional accessory, but a true decorative element that evokes the atmosphere of old-fashioned living rooms.

The Base: Made of cast brass with rich embossing. The foot features floral motifs and acanthus leaf decorations, typical of the Baroque or Neoclassical style, which lend stability and prestige.
A solid piece of clear cut crystal. The edge features a vertical ribbing that creates stunning plays of light, while the bottom is decorated with a radial or floral motif visible through the glass.
Details and Conditions
