VINTAGE 20thC ENGLISH SOLID SILVER & AGATE HORSE RACING THEMED ASHTRAY c.1956
A charming 20th Century silver ashtray, combining natural onyx with a sporting theme closely associated with British racing heritage. The ashtray is formed from a substantial slice of polished onyx, its softly translucent surface retaining a naturally textured outer edge that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, hand finished bowl.
Mounted to the rear is a finely cast silver horse's head, detailed with bridle and harness, set against a curved silver plaque engraved "1957 THE DERBY". The horse's head is rendered with a strong sense of movement and character, serving as a commemorative tribute to one of Britain's most celebrated horse racing events.
Hallmarked English silver (925 Standard), Birmingham, Year 1956 (G), Maker's mark Alexander Clark & Co Ltd (ACCLD)
