AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ashtrays shaped like ladybugs in antique-gilded brass and a brass fly, well maintained, with very beautiful patinas of time, their raised wings allow the use of an ashtray and once lowered, they become very fine objects that give an elegant touch to the decor.
- Ladybug: dimensions 6 cm in height with wings lowered and 11 cm in height with wings raised, length 13 cm, and at most 15.5 cm wide, weight 462 g.
No deformation, except the design, such as the height of the legs, and a minimal sign of oxidation with no impact on solidity; the new purchaser can discover it by browsing the detailed photos that are part of the description.
- Fly: dimensions 10 cm in height with wings raised and 4 cm lowered, length 10 cm, and 6 cm at widest, weight 227 g.
No deformation, aside from the design, such as the height of the legs, and a minor movement of the legs at the clamping point, also due to the design process and without any impact on perfect stability.
Necessary shipping included in the shipping costs and proof of shipping rate provided if necessary.
