Antique fish-shaped ashtray on a stand in gilded brass and onyx (4.464 kg)

Splendid antique pedestal ashtray, combining a base and a sculpted shaft in gilded brass representing a stylised fish, and a circular onyx bowl, topped with an elegant baroque handle. Its flamboyant aesthetic clearly evokes the codes of the Hollywood Regency style, with its golden accents, sinuous lines, and decorative appearance, typical of the 1950s-1970s. An exceptional decorative object, both rare and original, it captivates as much with its sculptural presence as with the quality of its materials. Heavy and perfectly stable, it can be repurposed as a catch-all or a small side table. In very good condition with rare and slight signs of wear. No cracks in the stone, no structural fragility.
