AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Antique ashtray / trinket dish in patinated bronze, Art Nouveau / Folk Art (c. 1900–1940).
Small tray / rectangular collector's ashtray in solid cast bronze. The interior face features a prominent detailed sculptural relief, depicting the bust of an elderly man with a long, thick beard, wearing a traditional hat adorned with a large plume. European work with rustic and folkloric appeal, with excellent contrast of volumes and expressive details in the character's facial features.
Good condition, showing light wear and patina consistent with age and historical use. No structural cracks or visible restorations.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
