Decorative Art Nouveau ashtray or pen rest, marked URANIA 1035.
Crafted from silver-plated metal, the piece depicts a stylized female profile with flowing lines that transition into the frame — a typical example of the early 20th-century Art Nouveau aesthetic.
The design and theme are in keeping with the symbolism of Art Nouveau: the glorification of women and nature, executed in soft, organic lines.
The name Urania may refer to a German or Austrian metal workshop active around 1895–1915.

Hallmark: URANIA 1035 on the underside
Condition: good condition with appropriate patina and light signs of use
The object is representative of the refined decorative metals of the Art Nouveau period and is both functionally and sculpturally interesting.
