Description from the seller
Vintage silvered metal floor ashtray – Height 65 cm, Diameter 18 cm
Elegant floor-standing ashtray with a classic, tasteful design, characterized by refined decorative details that recall the mid-20th-century lounge and hotel furnishings. The piece is distinguished by its elongated silhouette and the meticulous workmanship of its details.
The structure is entirely made of metal with a polished silver finish. The circular base is wide and stable, featuring a relief pattern with radial motif and geometric decorations that give visual solidity and a pleasing sculptural effect. The central stem, slim and harmonious, is adorned with ornamental elements at the joints, with incised motifs that emphasize the piece’s classic character.
The upper bowl, soft and enveloping in shape, is equipped with three cigarette rests elegantly integrated into the profile. At the center a vertical decorative element develops, ending in a finely worked ring/handle, a distinctive detail that adds further elegance and facilitates handling.
The interior surface of the bowl is smooth and polished, designed for practical use and easy cleaning. The overall composition is harmonious and balanced, making the ashtray not only functional but also a refined decorative accessory.
Conditions:
Good overall condition, with normal signs of wear and aging consistent with the item’s age. Slight traces of surface wear and patina that attest to its authenticity and vintage character.
Dimensions:
• Height: 65 cm
• Bowl diameter: 18 cm
Era:
Second half of the 20th century.
A vintage-charmed object, ideal for classic interiors, professional studies, living rooms, lounges, or for collectors of design objects and mid-century modern items.
