Brastoff, a gay artist whose personal life was often a subject of controversy in his time, channeled his experiences into his whimsical and distinctive creations. Despite the era's attitudes, his work gained prominence thanks to patrons like Zsa Zsa Gabor, who helped shine a light on his unique pieces in Los Angeles. Brastoff's showroom became a hub of success, producing some of today's most iconic and collectible designs.

The Sascha Brastoff Chimney Ashtray is a signature piece that transforms lingering smoke into a captivating sculptural element for your space. This hand-painted ashtray is part of Brastoff's Alaska series, which celebrates the beauty of indigenous peoples, structures, and animals. The series came out around 1959 when Alaska became a US state. The design features a majestic seal, intricately detailed and evocative of Alaska's natural wonders. This unique piece not only serves its practical purpose but also stands as a work of art, showcasing Brastoff's creative genius and attention to detail.
