ABOUT PRODUCTID 2243
This Swedish ashtray from the 1970s exemplifies Nordic craftsmanship, where function and form converge through the interplay of metal and light. Crafted from solid, golden brass with a matte-satin finish and contrasted by a silvery steel inner surface, its sculptural, gear-like edge draws the eye. Deep, spiral grooves along the rim add a dynamic texture and industrial character, while its proportions—17.5 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height—align with mid-century modern aesthetics. The ashtray is in excellent condition, with no visible signs of damage or restoration, and features a gentle patina characteristic of its age. This object tells the story of the 1970s, when Scandinavian design embraced the honesty of materials and purity of form. The brass gleam, softened by its satin finish, evokes long evenings in a lounge, with metal reflecting the glow of lamps and the haze of cigars. The spiral grooves seem to whisper of the era’s industrial inspirations, while the cool steel interior counters the warm brass, creating a subtle dialogue between function and ornament. The ashtray can serve as a decorative accent on a coffee table in mid-century modern or eclectic collector’s interiors. It may be paired with teak or rosewood furniture and period glassware—a clear carafe or simple bowl will highlight its sculptural form. Surrounded by minimalist accessories or art books, it can be both a practical object and a purely decorative piece, finding its place in a living room, study, or on a shelf among designer curios.
