Sculptural French standing ashtray in the style of Mathieu Matégot, dating to the 1950s.
Executed in black enameled metal, the piece features a gracefully curved upright form supporting a suspended glass ashtray, paired with a perforated metal side tray. The interplay of line, balance, and material is characteristic of mid-century French design, recalling Matégot’s iconic use of perforated metal and light, architectural structures.
Both functional and highly decorative, it serves as a striking floor-standing object—equally suited as an ashtray, catchall, or sculptural accent.
Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. Minor surface wear to the enamel and light patina throughout. Glass insert in good condition.
Dimensions:
24" H x 13" D x 8" W
