Art Nouveau Bronze Standing Ash Tray with Foliate Motifs Signed by Tiffany
-
Description
This beautiful standing bronze ash tray was realized by the fabled American design firm, Tiffany & Co. (then Tiffany Studios), in the United States circa 1905. It features a circular base with three pod-like enshrouded orbital forms connected via swirling curvilinear tendrils; a cylindrical body; and a domed top with a striated lip and banded supports running along its curved exterior- all in beautiful handcrafted bronze. The inverse domed ash tray offers indentations as well as a holder with stylized geometric crosshatch patterns for holding cigarettes, or incense. The cylindrical body of the piece contorts in the center where three stylized leaves, resembling English Ivy, protrude. With its uncompromising quality, evident in the fastidious attention to detail, this piece promises to delight collectors of Tiffany as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. It is in excellent vintage condition. Signed Tiffany Studios New York".
