A solid carved wooden pipe rest and ashtray with warm natural grain and aged patina. Likely mid-century, with a distinctive brass strap detail secured by rivets and a small metal leaf rest at the front.
Designed to cradle a full-size tobacco pipe, the shaped channel supports the stem while the hollowed section acts as an ash well. The darker interior tone suggests genuine use over time, adding character and authenticity.
The carving has an organic, sculptural feel with rich variation in the wood grain. The brass band adds contrast and a subtle decorative accent.
