Black metal standing ashtray with magazine holder, Vintage 1950s/60s

This delightful french ashtray is typical of its time and french decoration of the 1950s/60s. Made from black metal with chrome accents, it features a fabulous round mirrored shelf for you to rest your drink on and a wire clip to hold your magazine or newspaper. It's also very practical: with a press of the button, the inner lid spins delightfully to disperse the ashes into the chamber below, then snaps back into place, sealing waste and unpleasant odors inside. The ashtray has an interior coating that makes emptying and cleaning easier. This ashtray exudes french chic. At a time when smoking was cool and fashionable, the accessories that came with it were elegantly designed to be household items. Whether you smoke or not, this ashtray could be a perfect decorative piece for your 1950s/60s bar, ideal for indoors or for an outdoor smoking area. It would make a fun gift for the right person and might be just what you need as a prop in a production set in mid-century europe. In very good shape. There are signs of age, particularly scuffs and scratches on the black enamel, rust on the underside of the ashtray top and some tarnishing on the chrome, but nothing that detracts from its charm vintage. Please see all the photos and remember it is over 50 years old and pre-owned. Approximate measurements: height - 58 cm base diameter - 14 cm ashtray diameter - 10 cm.
