Italy, 1980s. Faux-ostrich covering, with its characteristic quill-bump grain, was hugely popular for Italian desk objects at the time — a way of evoking exotic leather with a more accessible process. This ashtray is a fine example.
The rectangular base with rounded corners is entirely covered in this brown material, whose textured grain catches the light from every angle. At its centre sits a bowl of thick cut glass, extending on each side into two wide cigarette rests that structure the piece.
Perfect condition: the piece has never been used, the covering is intact, and the cut glass has no chips or scratches. It comes from Milan.
At 25.5 cm wide and 6.5 cm high, this generously sized ashtray suits a desk or a coffee table. An object combining glasswork with a textured covering inspired by exotic leather, for a touch that is both sober and refined.
