An elegant and beautifully crafted standing ashtray in brass, reflecting the soft curves and ornamental detailing reminiscent of the Art Nouveau era. The piece stands on a rounded footed base, leading into a twisted, rope-form column - at the top sits a round ash bowl, framed with delicate, flowing leaf motifs, and an integrated upright holder designed to accommodate a traditional cigarette box. The warm brass patina adds depth and authenticity, with gentle signs of age that speak to its history.
Originally designed for smoking lounges and parlour settings, standing ashtrays like this were as much decorative accents as functional pieces. Today, it works just as well as a unique décor statement - use it as a plant stand for a trailing ivy, a display pedestal for a small vessel, or simply as a nostalgic sculptural object.
