Antique Early 1900’s Black Forest Ashtray

Antique early 1900’s Swiss Black Forest bear ashtray

This unique piece of folk art was traditionally hand carved out of hard wood in the Black forest area in Switserland. It’s a fine example of the great craftsmanship the area got famous for and shows beautiful details like the rucksack the bear is wearing! The side of the carving is marked with rhonegletscher – 2300 m.

This ashtray would be the perfect piece to display on your desk, in your collection or cabinet of curiosities!

After more than a century the ashtray still remains in good condition and only shows minor signs of wear.
Over time it acquired a subtle patina which only adds more charm to it!
