Bronze zodiac ashtray and pocket tray

Magnificent ashtray or catch-all from the 1960s, made of bronze, featuring the zodiac signs in relief, very well executed. The material used is very durable and heavy (653 g), and it is in excellent condition, making it a superb object, particularly decorative. This ashtray has been completely cleaned, but those who prefer less shiny bronzes can rest assured, it will gradually regain a patinated hue. As a specialised metal website states: "Its value lies in its robustness, flexibility, and beauty. Iron rusts, aluminium tarnishes, and bronze acquires a protective patina that enhances it over time.".
