Elegant pedestal stand crafted from polished onyx stone, accented with refined brass details, characteristic of European decorative design from the 1960s–1970s.
Originally designed as a standing ashtray, this type of piece was also commonly used as a small pedestal or plant stand, blending functionality with sculptural presence.
The soft ivory tones and natural veining of the onyx give the piece a subtle translucency and a warm, sophisticated look. The decorative brass elements add a classic touch, enhancing its timeless appeal.
The top section is removable, which appears to be part of the original design rather than damage, allowing for versatility and easy maintenance.
A beautiful statement piece that works effortlessly in both vintage-inspired and contemporary interiors.
