AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid zoomorphic bronze Blue Crab ashtray (not tested), entirely vintage, provenance France, circa 1960–1970.
If you compare this ashtray and its shape, you will see that it is in every respect similar to a female of the Blue Crab species; numerous details and engravings demonstrate the very high quality of this object!!
So do not miss the chance you’re given to own this wonder.
Happy bidding to all.
As with all my items for sale on this site, these little jewels have undergone no modification, touch-up, or restoration since purchase; a light cleaning may be necessary to restore all the panache they deserve.
Look carefully at the photos that are part of the description. Any damage not mentioned in the text but visible in the photos is considered as described.
No shipping outside the EU; if you are outside the European Union you may bid on one of my lots, however no claims will be possible in case of problems during transport. Given the new import/export regulations to the USA, there will be no shipping to that country.
Careful professional shipping, with signature on delivery and insurance.
