ABOUT PRODUCTID 19221
This Art Deco cigarette pedestal from 1930s Vienna exemplifies the era’s fascination with metallic luxury and geometric abstraction. Crafted from brass and finished in reflective chrome, it features a silvery, cool-toned sheen that underscores its modernist lineage. The focal point is a highly stylized, elongated animal figure reminiscent of a llama—its extended, linear legs and curved neck create a dynamic sense of movement taken directly from early 20th-century aesthetics. Serving both structural and decorative roles, the animal supports a hemispherical ashtray bowl, its mirror-polished surface seamlessly integrated with the rest of the composition. Next to the bowl sits a cylindrical cigarette holder, also chrome-plated and precisely balanced against the organic curves of the figure. All elements are set on an oval, sleekly polished base that reflects their shapes and enhances the pedestal’s streamlined appearance. Dimensions: height 16 cm, width 7 cm, length 16.5 cm. The surfaces are smooth and gleaming, free from restoration traces or visible damage—attesting to its very good vintage condition and undisturbed originality.This object captures the poised restraint of Viennese Art Deco—a period when metal became the fabric of luxury and dynamic geometric forms reshaped the landscape of everyday design. The llama figure tells a story of interwar fascination with exoticism and implied motion, while the high-chrome finish alludes to the modernist hunger for light play and mirrored reflections. The
