Italian modernist floor ashtray from the 1960s.

Elegant modernist Italian floor ashtray from the 1960s. The piece features a slender structure in black lacquered metal with a curved stem, spherical brass tips, and a salmon-coloured bowl adorned with a removable chrome ring. The silhouette is particularly light and sculptural, with a refined balance between function and decorative presence. Originally designed as an accessory for a smoking room or lounge, this object now works wonderfully as a decorative accent capable of bringing character, rhythm, and atmosphere to a contemporary, modernist, or eclectic interior. It can be placed next to a lounge chair, near a bookshelf, in a reading nook, or within a carefully composed space to introduce a subtle Italian modernist elegance. In good vintage condition with signs of age consistent with its years: scratches, small dents, oxidations, and visible paint loss in places, particularly at the junction between the bowl and the curved stem where the metal appears locally. Patina on the brass spheres and slight surface wear on the removable chrome ring.
