1930s Art Deco Monkey Cigar/Cigarette Cutter and Ashtray

This purposeful conversation piece hails from Budapest; where the monkeys drink wine and the intellectuals smoke only the finest cigars. It is a rather curious and marginally whimsical Arts & Crafts inspired cigar cutter and ashtray made of bronze and hammered brass. Its enduring charm will brighten your day whether you use it for its originally intended purpose, or as a small thing-a-me-bob holder or even more simply and deservedly as the objet d’art is has become.
