Description
This is a Tulip Pedestal Ashtray, initially designed in 1956 by Eero Saarinen for Knoll. These particular pieces were produced in the USA in the 1960s. The design features a base formed of molded cast-iron which is powder-coated in a white satin finish. The trays are made of polished chromed-steel. The original Knoll bow-tie labels are present on the bottom of each base.
These ashtrays are becoming increasingly rare, and are a fabulous example of Saarinen's early design work (which gave way to the tulip series and beyond).
The listed price includes one ashtray, and we have two available for purchase.
Each ashtray measures 13 inches in diameter, and is 21.5 inches tall. There are some light scratches on the bases. The steel vessels are in good condition with no burn marks or damage. Overall, these ashtrays are in good condition with light wear. Please see photos.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?
Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.
Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.
For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.
We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.
Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.
Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.
How much does shipping cost?
To see shipping costs, add an item to your cart and proceed to checkout. You'll be able to see costs there.

Do you deliver to NYC?
Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.
What is Freight shipping?
Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.
Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.
Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
