This rare Art Deco smoking stand by FrankArts, crafted in the United States circa 1935, exemplifies the refined glamour and functional elegance of the Art Deco era.

The stand features a slender, patinated bronze base with a nude woman standing tall and holding a minimal tray in outstretched arms, with an elegant and vibrant posture. The bronze showcases a rich, darkened finish with a subtle sheen. In Front of her feat set within the bronze base is a rectangular hand glazed ceramic tray with a two-toned dripped motif of olive and jade green. Every detail of this smoking stand is thoughtfully considered and executed, resulting in a piece that transcends its utilitarian purpose to become a sculptural object. Signed on the undersurface of the ceramic tray.

FrankArts—known for its innovative and artistic creations—produced highly collectible pieces that are now treasured examples of the exquisite craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the 1930s. This smoking stand is both an elegant statement piece for collectors and a window into the social rituals and aesthetics of the Art Deco era. Styling beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Art Deco to Mid-Century Modernist and Contemporary Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
