Elegant vintage table ashtray in the shape of a small barrel, with cigarette holder and gilded details
A charming vintage desk and collector’s object, designed in the distinctive shape of a small barrel, decorated in black and embellished with numerous gold-coloured details.
The upper section features an elaborate radial cigarette-holder arrangement, consisting of several metal holders, surmounted by a central rod supporting a small circular tray. The tray is decorated with a stylised floral motif and topped by an elegant ornamental loop.
The cylindrical body has a black finish with gold-coloured bands, recalling the construction of a traditional barrel. The front is decorated with a heraldic shield featuring a rampant lion, adding an especially attractive decorative element.
The combination of black and gold gives the piece an elegant retro appearance, characteristic of vintage desk and smoking-room accessories of the 20th century.
