Product description
Beautiful large sunflower-shaped ashtray, made of silver-plated bronze, signed S. Agudo, Spain, circa mid-20th century.
A rare and original object. The petals can be removed and serve as small, distinctive ashtrays in their own right. The sunflower itself folds open to be used as a large ashtray.
This finely detailed piece, made of very high quality, is a lovely and decorative object, even for non-smokers. It has a high collector's value.
This authentic and unique object will often arouse the curiosity and admiration of your guests. It is a conversation piece and a true collector's item.
Cigarette sales peaked in the 20th century, and people were allowed to smoke in offices, cinemas, restaurants, indoors, and outdoors. Once women could smoke freely, smoking became a social norm and was generally considered an act of elegance and refinement. Businessmen in the 1960s were rarely seen without a cigarette in their hand. It goes without saying that you needed beautiful smoking accessories for your desk or coffee table. This object is a beautiful example of such a beautiful and decorative, high-quality smoking accessory, which can certainly serve another purpose today.
The sunflower is in perfect vintage condition, with only minor signs of age and use, such as discoloration and weathering of the silver plating. This gives the object extra character. The flower still looks fantastic. Check the photos for more details!
Dimensions: 19x24x62cm.
