AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating and eclectic tree-shaped conversation-piece ashtray, entirely made of solid silver with a 800 hallmark presumably from the renowned Milanese company F.I.A.M., dating from the late 1950s to the early 1960s.
The piece is in excellent overall condition, complete with all original components and perfectly functioning.
A product of great ingenuity and charm, emblematic of high Milanese craftsmanship in the postwar period. Originally conceived as a multipurpose ashtray for the salons of the upper bourgeoisie, the piece stands out for its scenographic tree-like structure.
The central shaft rises from a solid base decorated with a mythological sea figure. Along the vertical axis there are 6 conch-shaped plates of excellent workmanship.
The plates can rotate outward in a fan-like manner to be used by multiple guests, and they are also completely removable.
This item also lends itself to a splendid reinterpretation as a coveted catchall tray or bonbon holder for the table.
Rare collectible object that combines the preciousness of silver with functional design.
Individual measurements 7 * 5 cm, height 2 cm, total footprint 7.3 cm diameter, height 22.5 cm
Total weight 263 grams
Tracked worldwide shipping with rigid packaging and insurance
