Description
A matching pair of circular ashtrays manufactured from solid cast brass. The central field of each ashtray is decorated with a raised relief scene depicting five military figures in seventeenth-century European costume, including pikemen and infantrymen. The wide rim is ornamented with a repetitive foliate scroll pattern and features three integrated rests positioned equidistantly around the circumference. The underside of each piece has a rough, pitted texture characteristic of the sand-casting process. There are no visible maker’s marks or stamps.
Diameter: 11.5 cm.
Condition report:
These items are in fair to good vintage condition. There is a notable accumulation of green verdigris oxidation in the recessed parts of the central pictorial relief and the foliate borders. The brass surface exhibits a dulled patina and general surface wear commensurate with age and utility. No structural damage, cracks, or repairs are evident.
