Description of aesthetics and the "Fané" charm:
A magnificent and solid vintage-inspired floor ashtray, featuring a functional design and a striking presence. The slender body is topped by a convenient upper handle and equipped with a push mechanism with a central black bakelite knob, ideal for dropping cigarette butts into the reservoir beneath, keeping them out of sight and containing odors.
What makes this piece irresistible for fans of mid-century modern and retro taste is its lived-in, imperfect appearance: the patina of time, subtle hues, and signs of wear on the brass do not diminish its value; they confer that unmistakable Fané and bohemian charm, perfect to stylishly blend in with an eclectic living room, an artist’s studio, or a venue with an industrial and refined character.
The heavy cast-iron base ensures absolute stability, making it as safe as it is decorative.
Conditions of conservation:
