AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rarest and iconic freestanding ashtray 'Pedestal' original Mid-Century Modern and Space Age, designed by the famous architect Eero Saarinen for Knoll International (Pedestal Group collection).
This specimen stands out for its exceptional condition, having been used as a display piece.
The upper satin-brushed aluminum bowl is free of stains, burn marks, or smoke residue.
The interior surface still shows the original factory machining lines.
The famous white-lacquered aluminum cast tulip base is well preserved and retains its vintage luster.
Under the heavy anti-tip base are clearly embossed in the casting the original series trademarks ('BR 50' / Knoll), partially covered by the protective paint layers of the era.
The piece is complete with its original metal-mesh grid, a fundamental component.
Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. Minimal and negligible signs of wear due to handling. Solid structure and the base lacquer is splendid.
