Description from the seller

Vintage Japanese Wooden Ashtray with Drawer – Cast Iron Top

This is a charming vintage wooden ashtray with a small drawer, combining functionality with traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The piece features a solid wooden body reinforced with black metal corner fittings, giving it a rustic yet refined appearance. The top is fitted with a circular cast iron ashtray insert, decorated with a textured surface and a central floral motif. The rotating iron lid helps contain ash and odors, reflecting practical design from the mid-20th century.

Below the ashtray, a small pull-out drawer provides convenient storage for matches or small accessories. The contrast between warm-toned wood and aged iron creates an attractive patina that enhances its nostalgic character.

This compact yet substantial object is both decorative and functional, making it suitable as a collectible smoking accessory, a rustic interior accent, or a small storage box with historical charm.
