This French Art Deco ashtray from the 1930s is crafted entirely from aluminum and takes the form of a stylized streamline roadster, emblematic of the Streamline Moderne movement. Its proportions are low and elongated, with pronounced, geometric fenders and a central, oval well for ashes. The surface displays a cool, matte silver tone typical of unpolished aluminum, with a subtly grainy texture and gentle tonal variations resulting from natural patina. The construction is monolithic, cast from a single piece without visible joints or fittings. The ashtray remains unrestored and unpolished, retaining its authentic vintage character. There are no chips, cracks, or losses; only the most minimal signs of age and use are present. Condition: excellent, original. The form of this ashtray speaks in the voice of the machine age and automotive fascination: streamlined contours, dynamic sculpted lines, and geometric discipline evoke the spirit of the 1930s, when design strove for both function and bold modernity. Aluminum—the material of the future in that era—reflects light in subtle half-tones, while the unrefined surface tells a story of old salons and clubs, where ashes were tapped with the nonchalance of the Art Deco golden age. A small object, yet it carries the legacy of a major aesthetic revolution: pure form and the celebration of speed. This ashtray would serve as a striking accent on a modernist console in dark wood, alongside geometric sculpture or a graphite table lamp. It fits seamlessly into collector's interiors—whether
