Substantial Green Onyx Cigar Ashtray

About the Item

This substantial and heavy Green Onyx Cigar Ashtray is a stunning example of Art Deco smoking accessories, embodying the elegance and craftsmanship of the early 20th century. Carved from genuine green onyx, this circular ashtray features three finely carved divots for holding cigars and a deep, generously sized bowl for ash, making it both functional and visually striking. The polished onyx showcases natural veining and color variations, adding to its luxurious appeal. This piece remains clean and well-preserved, with only a small 1/8" chip on the rim and expected wear to the base, consistent with age and use. The smooth, cool texture of the stone and the refined carving reflect the attention to detail found in high-end Art Deco smoking accessories. During the 1920s and 1930s, green onyx was a highly sought-after material in luxury home décor and smoking accessories, often used alongside marble, chrome, and Bakelite to create striking geometric and streamlined designs. Onyx cigar ashtrays were a staple of high-end cigar lounges, gentlemen’s clubs, and Art Deco interiors, exuding sophistication and status. The natural translucency and layered hues of onyx added depth and elegance to these functional pieces, making them prized by collectors today.
