Description
Design & Inspiration
Few decorative objects command a tabletop with the quiet authority of this Rococo-inspired ashtray — a piece that refuses to be merely functional. Resting within a fantastical, heavily ornate brass floral stand, the smooth white ceramic bowl sits elevated like a precious vessel displayed in a royal cabinet de curiosités. Fluid acanthus scrolls, naturalistic flower-head corbels at each leg junction, and a central rosette medallion on the interior base all speak the visual language of 18th-century French Rococo, that celebrated era of gilded extravagance and organic ornamental invention.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The stand is cast from solid brass, each sinuous branch, leaf curl, and blossom cluster hand-finished to reveal the depth of the casting. The three splayed legs terminate in naturalistic, talon-like feet — a nod to the Rococo fondness for nature brought indoors — while the upper ring cradles the ceramic bowl with petal-like projections. The ceramic bowl itself is glazed in an ivory-white finish with hand-applied gilded arabesques and soft rose-pink washes that catch the light and shift warmly from different angles. The interior bears a raised, gilded rosette — a detail of extraordinary refinement at this scale. Every brass component is hand-polished and finished to your chosen metallic tone.
Dimensions & Details
At 16 cm in diameter and 11 cm in height, this ashtray occupies the ideal footprint for a side table, writing desk, or reception console — substantial enough to anchor a vignette, compact enough to complement rather than dominate. Weight: 4 kg, reflecting the solidity of the cast brass construction. As a Brass & Wood handcrafted luxury piece, it is available in multiple brass finishes to suit any interior palette.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Produced in the Brass & Wood atelier in Egypt, this piece honors the tradition of European decorative arts through the hands of Egyptian master craftsmen. Each unit is individually cast, assembled, and finished — no two are precisely identical. The ceramic bowl is separately produced and fitted to the brass cradle, ensuring both components receive the individual attention they deserve. This is the kind of object that becomes a conversation piece, inviting guests to examine it closely and discover new details with every viewing.
