THOMAS MOLESWORTH
'Burro' standing ashtray, ca. 1938
Painted wrought iron.

24" H x 8.75" Diameter

Condition

Good restored condition. The removable ashtray has been reproduced and is not original to the piece. The burro has areas of repair to its legs, tail and a foot. The patina is sightly different to the repairs and the ashtray element.
