Antique Early 20th Century Brass Tortoise Floor-standing Cigar Stand C.1920

1900 - 1920
Description

An Early 20th Century brass cigar stand, the dished tray featuring integrated cigar rests and three small well-worn cast tortoises around a central acorn finial, set over a slender faux-bamboo brass column, and raised on a heavy cast brass base modelled as a tortoise.

Standing at ideal armchair height, this characterful piece serves as a functional accent beside a library chair or within a traditional country house smoking room. The heavy, self-weighted base ensures excellent stability on both polished timber floors and thick carpets. The 1.5cm gauge of the four rests is purposefully proportioned to cradle traditional slim cigars and panatelas of the era.

Very good antique condition, the brass displays a mellow golden lustre with pronounced, honest wear to the high-contact highlights and a rich, authentic verdigris patina within the recesses. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place.

English, circa 1920.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Floor-standing cigar stands were freestanding accessories widely used during the late Victorian and early 20th-century eras, designed to hold ash receptacles, matches, and cigars beside seating in gentlemens clubs and private residences.

Antique smoking stands were predominantly cast from heavy metals such as brass, bronze, or cast iron to ensure stability, often featuring detailed zoomorphic or geometric bases to balance the tall stem.

Authentic period pieces usually exhibit cast seam lines, natural surface patination or oxidisation, threaded structural components, and weighted bases designed to prevent tipping.

These freestanding objects function effectively placed beside a reading armchair, serving as sculptural accent pieces or unique conversation features within contemporary living spaces.

Maintain original surface patination by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding abrasive metal polishes or chemical cleaners that remove historical surface aged tones.
