Description from the seller
Outdoor column ashtray in wrought iron – vintage modernist design
Material:
Wrought iron with a metal tray (likely steel or browned iron). Robust and heavy structure, created by hand-crafted bending and welding of the metal, typical of durable outdoor pieces.
Style:
Modernist design with minimalist and industrial cues. The curved upper arc creates an elegant, sculptural form, with mid-century influences and decorative craftsmanship.
Era:
Second half of the 20th century (roughly the 1960s–1980s), consistent with column ashtrays of similar design popular during the modernist period.
Production:
Probable Italian or European artisanal production, unmarked. Metalworking and structure suggest manual craftsmanship rather than standard industrial manufacturing.
Finishes:
Black paint (likely powder coating or enamel)
Matte/satin finish
Signs of aging consistent with the period (possible small scratches or patina)
Removable tray for cleaning
Dimensions and weight:
Height: 70 cm
Diameter: 22 cm
Weight: 3.5 kg
A functional yet decorative piece of furniture, characterized by a slender silhouette with a tripod base and a slightly twisted central stem. The top features an elegant semicircular arch that frames the tray, imparting a strong visual impact.
