Longchamp mid-century ashtray in glazed ceramic and leather - France 1950s

This refined piece from Longchamp combines raw and refined materials - saddle leather and gunmetal-coloured glazed ceramic - in a sculptural shape. The contrast between the matte leather base and the ceramic creates an interesting play of textures, while the visible stitching adds a handcrafted detail that showcases French leather craftsmanship. Designed as an ashtray, this object also works perfectly as a decorative catch-all or sculptural piece. Its organic shape and neutral palette make it a sophisticated addition to a desk, console, or coffee table. Condition: some signs of wear and small marks on the leather. Overall in very good condition for its age.
