Art Deco Newspaper stand with ashtray

Art Deco newspaper stand with ashtray

This Art Deco newspaper stand with integrated ashtray comes from France and was made around 1930. Made from stained ash wood, the piece of furniture is characterized by its elegant simplicity and functionality, which are typical of 1930s design. The stained ash wood gives the stand a warm, dark color that emphasizes the natural character of the wood.

The practical ashtray, which is part of the design, shows the combination of aesthetics and everyday usability at the time, as smoking was a common social custom at the time. The Art Deco newspaper stand reflects the French taste for stylish but at the same time functional home accessories and represents a contemporary furnishing style characterized by high-quality craftsmanship and the use of fine materials.

A truly fascinating Art Deco object, like this double-sided “Chanel” advertising sign.
