Description from the seller

Outdoor freestanding column ashtray in wrought iron – vintage modernist design

Material:
Wrought iron with a metal tray (probably steel or darkened iron). Sturdy, heavy structure, made through artisanal bending and welding of the metal, typical of durable outdoor items

Style:
Modernist design with minimalist and industrial cues. The curved upper arch line creates an elegant, sculptural form, with mid-century influences and decorative craftsmanship.

Era:
Second half of the 20th century (circa the 1960s–1980s), consistent with column ashtrays of similar design popular in the modernist period

Production:
Likely artisanal Italian or European craftsmanship, unmarked. The ironworking and structure suggest manual production rather than standard industrial manufacturing.

Finishes:
Black paint (probably powder-coated or enamel)
Matte/satin finish
Signs of age 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 upper part features an elegant semicircular arch that frames the tray, imparting a strong visual impact.
