The set consists of three square, slightly recessed ashtrays that can be stacked one on top of the other in a specially designed stand. Each ashtray features a small ledge that serves as a rest for a cigarette.

The entire set is made of metal with a distinctive dark, greenish-brown patina, accented with striking gilded details. The stand is particularly decorative, featuring a large, arched handle and a geometric medallion at the top.

The contrast between the patinated metal and the gilded edges gives the set a highly decorative appearance. The form is geometric, yet it possesses a distinctly artisanal character typical of decorative objects from the first half of the 20th century.

The set is preserved in its original, complete configuration. Visible are natural signs of aging, scuffs, and an uneven patina, which emphasize its authentic character.

Condition: good, with authentic signs of age and use

Note: Due to the lack of a manufacturer’s mark, the material has been cautiously identified as metal / likely a copper alloy. I do not attribute the set to a specific designer or manufacturer without confirmation. See less
