A charming relic of motoring history, this authentic 1940s Art Deco Michelin Man “Bibendum” tray brings together playful design and timeless industrial style. Crafted in England from richly toned Bakelite, the sculptural figure of Bibendum perches effortlessly atop the tray’s rim, complete with his classic Michelin sash and unmistakable character. Originally designed as an ashtray, the piece remains remarkably well preserved, with no visible burn marks or evidence of use.
Today, it makes an exceptional catchall for jewelry, coins, keys, cufflinks, or desk-top treasures — equally at home in a study, bar, library, or collector’s cabinet. Measures: 4 3/4in H x 5 34" D x 5in W
