About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Unique and full of character, this antique gilded metal ashtray takes on the iconic shape of the oriental babouche slipper with a curved toe, in a particularly expressive decorative interpretation. The surface is entirely adorned with rich embossed decoration. Foliage scrolls, volutes, and stylized motifs cover the slipper up to its curled end. Polychrome highlights in red, blue, and green, still present in the recesses of the decoration, contrast with the warm tones of the metal and delicately emphasize the relief work. The intentionally substantial casting gives the object a pleasing weight in the hand. The rougher underside allows for appreciation of its molded manufacture, while the natural wear of the surface and polychromy fully contributes to its antique charm. Originally designed as a table ashtray, with a rest for a cigarette, it can now be repurposed as a small trinket dish, incense holder, or simply kept as a decorative curiosity. A lovely vintage piece inspired by the Ottoman world, to be placed on a coffee table, a desk, or among a collection of travel objects. Dimensions. Approximately 14 cm in length. Turkey, 20th century.
