Description from the seller
A superb set of five vintage collector's items, consisting of luxury pocket ashtrays by the renowned French designer Michel Le Brun (Paris). This selection stands out due to its vibrant colors and rare motifs, executed in high-quality enamel and gilded metals.
Highlights of this Collection:
- The Rare Zebra: An exceptionally rare and sought-after design featuring a stylized zebra on a bright orange background. Animal motifs are among the most collectible pieces in Le Brun's repertoire.
- Royal Magenta Ornament: A sophisticated box featuring a golden ornamental design on a deep magenta/purple background, representing the high-end "Vanity" style of the era.
- Floral Classics: Three boxes with refined botanical scenes, including the iconic roses in soft pink and blue, and a delicate lily design on a red background.
Condition Report:
- Mechanical: All items are in perfect working order. The hinges move smoothly, and the clasps close with a secure click.
- Optical: The enameled lids are in excellent condition with a beautiful luster. The metal frames show very minor, age-appropriate patina.
- Provenance: Each piece is marked on the underside (Michel Le Brun, Paris).
