This delightful French ashtray stand epitomises its era, and is so typical of French post war home décor. In chromed metal with faux teak vinyl covered surfaces. It has a little shelf for resting your drink on and a wire bracket for holding your magazine or newspaper.
It is also quite practical; the inner top spins delightfully at the push of the button to scatter the ash into the chamber below and then it pings back into place sealing the waste and any unpleasant odours inside. It comes complete with its liner in the ashtray, for easy emptying and cleaning.
This ashtray is undoubtedly oozing with French chic; from an era when smoking was cool and fashionable, the accompanying accessories were stylishly designed to be features in the home. Whether you smoke or not this could be a perfect decorative piece for your 1960s/70s home bar, ideal for indoors or an outside smoking area.
It would make an amusing gift for the right person and could be just what you need as a prop in a production set in mid-century Europe.
In VERY GOOD vintage condition with very few of its age or past use. The only point to note is some ruffling of the vinyl on the base, shown in a few of the photos. Please see all photos and remember it is around 50 years old and is pre-owned and pre-loved.
