The Palladian Totem | Ashtray Sculpture

24 1/8”H x 7 3/8”D Ashtray Insert: 1 1/4”H x 6”D

The Palladian Totem is a definitive study in Postmodern classicism, featuring an elegant, hourglass silhouette that emphasizes the inherent weight and luxury of natural stone. Expertly turned from solid blocks of contrasting marble, the piece utilizes a tri-partite construction where a luminous, smoke-veined white marble forms the flared basin and base, while a central cylinder of deep forest-green marble provides a sophisticated, architectural break. The removable green marble insert is meticulously carved with three rests, seamlessly integrating functionality into its sculptural form. With its 24-inch height and commanding presence, this piece transcends its original utility, serving as a striking objet d’art that bridges the gap between Mid-Century Italian influence and 1980s minimalism. It stands as a bold statement piece for a modern lounge, entryway, or primary suite, remaining in excellent vintage condition with only minor surface wear consistent with age and notable red artisan markings on the underside of the removable insert.
