French Gilt Metal & Leather Armrest Ashtray with Stirrups

A striking example of French mid-century design, this 1950s gilt metal armrest ashtray combines equestrian influences with practical functionality. Designed to drape over the arm of a chair or sofa, the piece features a wide black leather strap anchored by a pair of brass stirrups, supporting a beautifully machined brass ashtray with a generous, weighted bowl.

The minimalist silhouette is elevated by its thoughtful materials and craftsmanship. The warm patina of the brass contrasts beautifully with the supple black leather, while the stirrup hardware pays homage to classic French equestrian style. Intended as a luxury smoking accessory, today it serves equally well as a sculptural decorative object in a study, library, or sitting room.

Whether displayed in a Ralph Lauren-inspired interior, an equestrian home, or a modernist space, this uncommon piece brings character and timeless sophistication. The brass ashtray lifts from the leather strap for easy cleaning, and the leather drapes securely over the arm of a sofa or chair.

A wonderful example of functional French design from the mid-20th century.

Collectors Notes

Mid-century French smoking accessories have become increasingly sought after for their sculptural forms and quality craftsmanship. This armrest ashtray is particularly distinctive thanks to its equestrian-inspired brass stirrups and architectural brass bowl. While originally designed as a smoking accessory, it also makes an exceptional decorative accent for a library, office, den, or cocktail lounge. The ashtray can even be repurposed as a catchall for keys, cufflinks, rings, or other small desk accessories, giving the piece a new life while preserving its original design intent.
