Description from the seller
Description Catawiki – Italian
Elegant floor-standing brass ashtray, worked brass, of late 19th / early 20th century taste, characterized by refined ornamental decoration and remarkable craftsmanship.
The ashtray presents a columnar structure with a slender, richly decorated stem, embellished with floral motifs, acanthus leaves, relief elements and decorative scrolls. The upper part consists of a circular ashtray bowl with dedicated cigarette rests, topped by a distinctive decorative brass structure with elegant symmetrical scrolls.
The circular base, wide and stable, is finely worked in relief with ornamental motifs and features a segmented, lobed outer edge. The surface retains a beautiful patina of time, with alternating brunished and golden tones that enhance the reliefs and give the object an authentic vintage appearance.
