Barbers Shop Floor Ashtray retailer c1950. Art Deco Smoking Accessories. Standing Column Ashtray. Retro Man Cave or Cigar Smoking Decor. Tobacciana.

This is a super stylish Art Deco period floor standing ash tray dating to the early 1950s.

Made from cast aluminium & steel with a heavy chrome plate finish, it has a reeded stepped base, four panel fluted column & a trumpet capital with a six cigar or cigarette rest which also functions as a handle.

A retailer lovely piece of design, the base tray is easily removable for emptying & cleaning.

It was acquired some years ago from the Estate of a closed Gentleman's Barbers Shop, a haven of sports, motoring & other "Men's stuff".
Ladies were frowned upon (as customers!) & the shop was the subject of some contention with the Feminist Movement in the 1970s, culminating in a broken front window!

The piece is in exceptional vintage condition with just a few small surface marks & a little pinking to the chrome as shown.
It is in its original lightly cleaned but unrestored state, so please have a good look at all the photos. Sold as seen.
