Vintage Brass Ashtray Depicting the Mythological Nemean Lion Skin, Italy 1970s
About the Item
Vintage ashtray made in Italy between the 70s and 80s in cast brass and finished by hand.
it is a very decorative object that can be used as an ashtray, as a pocket emptier or soap dish; but also as a wall decoration, as you would a nice English plate.
The theme of this mid century ashtray is of mythological inspiration, to be precise it refers to the epic poem of the 12 Labors of Hercules or Labors of Heracles.
In fact, the ashtray has the shape of the skin of a Lion of Nemean, an animal with impenetrable fur, beaten and killed by Hercules during his first Labor and with whose fur he made his armor.
The ashtray is excellently made using a mold and then finished by hand.
In good vintage condition, it has a wonderful patina of the time.

- Midcentury Travertine Ashtray in the Style of Fratelli Mannelli, Italy, 1970sBy Fratelli MannelliLocated in Roma, ITSculptural Ashtray attributable to the historic company Fratelli Mannelli, specialized in the processing of travertine. Known for its collaboration with the designer Enzo Mari, who designed a series of stylized travertine animals, this Manifcaturer has also produced many other furnishing elements such as ashtrays, coffee tables and lamps. The ashtray that we offer for design and material seems to be part of this vast production of this manufacturer. The ashtray has a classic quadrangular shape but the distinctive element that distinguishes it and makes it more similar to a sculpture than a simple ashtray is in the handmade carved elements. There is a small central basin that connects with those created to be able to place the cigarettes laterally, but above all the lines that intersect each other as in a sound sculpture by Pinuccio Sciola.Category
