Solere Paris - Ashtray - Chrome - Vintage standing ashtray

Vintage pedestal ashtray by the French company Solère Paris, stamped beneath the cigarette rests. This is an iconic piece of 1950s industrial design.
Chrome-plated metal structure and heavy cast aluminum/steel base. Height: 66 cm and base diameter: 20 cm.
Very good original overall condition. The vertical structure and upper metal bowl retain a beautiful chrome shine. The cigarette rests show slight wear patina consistent with their age. The heavy base beneath the pedestal has been treated and repainted to protect the piece against oxidation.
