Art Deco Crow Ashtray or Catchall with Match Holder, Painted Wood, France 1940s

About the Item

Art Deco Crow Ashtray or Catchall with Match Holder, Painted Wood, France 1940s Art Deco Catchall or Vide-Poche, Zoomorphic style. This very rare object was initially an ashtray with a matches holder and a striking surface at the back of the crow. Beautifully crafted in wood, painted in black and red, with plastic expressive eyes. For a smoker, it could still be used as an ashtray. For anybody else, this original object would be a one-of-a-kind catchall for keys, jewels, coins etc. Nice patina, a few minor scratches here and there but nothing very much noticeable.
