Square Italian Ashtray in Leather and Wood by Fontana Arte, 1960s
In the 1960s, Fontana Arte developed a series of accessories combining thick glass and leather-wrapped materials, reflecting the Milanese company's attention to everyday use. This square ashtray exemplifies this approach, where the precision of cut glass is paired with a leather and wood base. The glass, typical of Fontana Arte's production, is cut from a generous block, with clean edges and a meticulously hollowed center. The piece rests on a leather-covered wooden base, accented with discreet saddle stitching.
The condition is very good for a piece that is over sixty years old. The glass has no noticeable scratches. The leather shows some minor imperfections consistent with use, which do not detract from the overall appearance of the object. On a coffee table or desk, it brings a graphic and functional presence, true to the utilitarian elegance characteristic of Fontana Arte.
