Vintage metal flower-shaped table ashtray from Italy, dating to the 1960s–1970s, with a silver finish and patina; the six-petal flower is comprised of removable parts and measures approximately 20 cm high, 17 cm wide and 17 cm deep.
Description from the seller
Elegant and distinctive vintage table ashtray in the shape of a flower, characterized by a refined metal structure with a silver finish and golden tones developed by time patina.
The design reproduces a stylized flower with six molded and finely worked petals, decorated with veins reminiscent of natural leaves and petals. The structure is detachable: the individual elements can be removed and used separately as small individual ashtrays, while the assembled flower becomes an original decorative object for the table.
This is a piece particularly representative of Italian design from the mid-20th century, when smoking accessories were often designed as true decorative and sculptural objects.
Epoch: approximately 1960s–1970s
Style: Mid-Century Modern / Italian Vintage
Material: metal
Color: silver with golden details and patina
Dimensions: about 23–24 cm in length; height about 15–16 cm, according to measurements visible in the photographs.
Conditions: good vintage condition, with normal signs of time, slight variations in finish and surface patina consistent with age. The photographs are an integral part of the description.
A distinctive original and decorative piece, ideal for a collection of Italian vintage design, for a retro environment, a display cabinet or as a particular conversation piece.
Note: since no maker's mark or signature is visible in the photographs, I do not attribute the piece to Gucci or any other specific manufacturer. Models of this type were produced by several Italian manufacturers.
