AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 bronze insect-shaped ashtrays – playful and distinctive design
This unique set of two bronze ashtrays is designed as insects, combining functionality with a striking decorative character. The objects are richly detailed, with carefully rendered wings, legs, and body structures, a testament to artisanal craftsmanship.
What makes these ashtrays extra special is the hinged design: the wings can be opened, revealing the ashtray compartment. This creates a playful and surprising effect and makes the objects not only practical but also a true conversation piece.
The warm bronze color and the natural patina give the pieces an authentic vintage appearance. They fit perfectly in an eclectic interior, a curiosity cabinet, or as collectibles for enthusiasts of unusual objects.
Dimensions:
Length: 11 cm
Width: 6 cm
Height: 4.5 cm
Weight: 0.3 kg per piece
