Description

This striking vintage ashtray is a premier example of the mid-century Brutalist movement, featuring a rugged, sculptural aesthetic that transforms a functional object into a tactile work of art. Cast in substantial brass, the piece takes the organic form of a stylized leaf, characterized by a heavily textured "lava" style basin and rhythmic, incised linear patterns along the rim. The bold juxtaposition of the refined leaf silhouette with the raw, unrefined finish makes it an exceptional addition to an executive desk, a mid-century coffee table, or a curated bookshelf, offering a sophisticated architectural presence. Measuring 9 inches wide, 5.75 inches deep, and 1 inch tall, this versatile piece functions beautifully as a decorative sculptural element or as a unique catchall for jewelry, keys, and coins. It is in great vintage condition, showcasing a deep, desirable patina with rich oxidation and subtle verdigris highlights that underscore its authentic 1960s heritage. These signs of age act as a testament to the artisan craftsmanship of the era and add a layer of soulful character to the metalwork. Invite this evocative piece of Brutalist design into your collection today to ground your space with elemental, textured style.
