AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant solid brass ashtray dating from the mid-20th century, of Italian manufacture and origin. Characterized by artisanal craftsmanship typical of the mid-century, it features a pronounced patina of age with mixed oxidation and a rough, unpolished texture from sand casting. A central threaded pin wrapped by a black lacquered metal spear creates a slender and extremely elegant line. Top with a refined ring handle, designed to lift and move the object within rooms. Minimalist style and aesthetics, inspired by famous Northern European productions, predominantly Swedish (Gunnar Ander, Ystad-Metall) but also by Italian manufactories of the same period, such as Stilnovo. Originally conceived as a resting place for smokers, today these objects are sought after by interior designers, reinterpreted as small decorative side tables, or catch-all trays for entryways and living rooms. The brass weighs almost 700 grams. Shipping, as usual, is carried out with meticulous care to its new home.
