1970s French Sculpted Wood Ashtray – Two-Tone Design in Black & Brown with Rich

About the Item

1970s French Sculpted Wood Ashtray – Two-Tone Design in Black & Brown with Rich Patina Description: This elegant French ashtray, crafted in the 1970s, is a refined example of functional design blended with sculptural craftsmanship. Made from two types of contrasting wood, it features a black inner bowl carved from a softer wood, and a richly sculpted outer ring in hard brown wood, providing both textural and visual contrast. The piece is finished with a warm, natural patina that highlights the grain and carving details, making it as much a decorative object as a practical accessory. Key features include: Two-Tone Wood Composition: The combination of a soft black wood interior and a hard, sculpted brown wood exterior creates a beautiful contrast in color and texture. French 1970s Craftsmanship: Made in France during a creative design era, this ashtray reflects mid-century modern influences with rustic artistry. Sculpted Exterior: The carved outer ring gives the piece a sculptural, organic form, enhancing its artistic and decorative value. Warm, Aged Patina: The surface shows signs of time and use, with a deep patina that adds character and emphasizes the quality of the wood. Functional & Decorative: While ideal for use as an ashtray, this piece also serves beautifully as a vide-poche, jewelry holder, or standalone decorative object on a shelf or table. Versatile Style: It fits naturally into mid-century, modern rustic, wabi-sabi, or minimalist interiors, adding a touch of warmth and craftsmanship. This 1970s French wood ashtray is a testament to artisan woodworking, combining elegant materials, thoughtful design, and tactile beauty. Whether used or displayed, it brings a timeless sophistication to any space.
