This magnificent vintage ashtray/trinket tray is a remarkable design piece that appeals to Art Deco collectors and automobilia enthusiasts. Its clean, highly stylized form immediately evokes the aerodynamic design of a 1930s racing car or supercar. Made of solid, polished aluminum, the object is both robust and elegant. The metal boasts a bright, smooth finish that accentuates the fluidity of its lines, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship. It perfectly captures the aesthetics of the Bauhaus and French (or European) Art Deco movements, where functionality met beauty inspired by speed and industry. Rare and original, it is much more than a simple accessory: it is a small desktop sculpture. It will bring a distinctive and nostalgic touch to any interior, whether placed on a desk, a display shelf, or as a centerpiece of vintage decor. Estimated Period: 1930s - 1950s In good condition, some age-related stains (see photos) Careful shipping with tracking
