ProfessionalProduct description
Elegant testament to a nearly vanished art of entertaining, this silent butler belongs to those accessories once kept close at hand after a meal. Its lid opens thanks to a small push-button located near the handle, allowing discreet collection of table crumbs or ashes without having to directly handle the container. Made of brass, it features a beautiful circular silhouette punctuated at the center by a simple medallion surrounded by a twisted rope design. The long wooden handle provides a warm contrast to the golden metal and allowed the host or hostess to pass it around with ease. This type of object, also known as a "silent butler," enjoyed considerable success in elegant interiors starting from the 1930s. The construction and design of this particular piece date it to around , a time when table accessories still combined practical function with genuine decorative appeal. Today, repurposed from its original use, it becomes a very beautiful decorative object. One can imagine it placed on a coffee table next to some beautiful books, on an antique desk, or even retaining its original function during a dinner party where it will certainly pique curiosity. The brass has a beautiful patina and shows natural signs of use for an object of this era, which fully contribute to its character. The opening mechanism is preserved. Total length approximately 27 cm. Body diameter approximately 14 cm.
