AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and iconic table ashtray with a concealed central cone mechanism, designed and produced by the renowned Stilnovo manufactory (Milan, Italy) between the late 1950s and the 1960s.
This refined collectible object stands out for its sculptural and functional design typical of Italian Mid-Century Modern. The upper part features a concave funnel with a central cone topped by a chrome-plated metal knob. The perimeter band is characterized by a satin-brushed finish with an exposed hexagonal fixing element, while the heavy lower base provides excellent stability.
Particularly important is the presence of the mechanism and the presence of the original paper label from the era on the bottom: "STILNOVO - MILANO - ITALY", a fundamental element that certifies 100% its authenticity and greatly increases the piece's collectible value.
Conditions: Good vintage condition and completely original. It shows a natural patina of time, with light speckling and surface oxidation on the metal finish (as highlighted in the detailed photos), which attest to the era and the piece's genuineness without diminishing its sculptural charm.
