This floor-standing ashtray from Belgium, dating to the 1930s, exemplifies the streamlined and functional design language of late Art Deco. The construction features a striking combination of materials: a highly reflective, chromed metal bowl and broad base, paired with a dark-stained beechwood shaft in a smooth, semi-matte finish.

The color palette is dominated by cool silver and deep brown, with visible metal fittings underscoring the robust craftsmanship. The wood reveals minor scratches and traces of use, while the chrome displays selective patina and light scuffs, all consistent with genuine vintage pieces. The ashtray remains in good condition, lightly refreshed and polished, with no visible modern replacements.

This ashtray could serve as a distinctive accent in an Art Deco-inspired living room or in an eclectic, collector’s space.
