Dupont Monogram 1872 ashtray in grey porcelain\u003c\/strong\u003e is a rectangular tray 8.7 by 6.7 inches with two gilt rests at opposite corners and the maison's monogram — 1872, its founding year, set as a repeating pattern — across the well. Notches and borders are painted by hand. It is the ashtray for a study or a desk where the object will be looked at longer than it is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ashtray is the ritual's punctuation: a proper rest lets a cigar pause mid-conversation without going out. Two rests means two cigars, which is the right number for a closing. Porcelain wipes clean; wash it by hand, because the painted borders were not made for a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrey is the quiet one of the three colours the maison makes it in.

Dupont, the Paris maison that has made leather cases since 1872 and lighters since 1941, for its craftsmanship and fit within our world. Curated pieces carry their maker's own identity rather than ours; our house collection, designed and branded exclusively for Barrister \u0026amp; Bespoke, is marked separately throughout the shop.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy we carry it.\u003c\/em\u003e S.T. Dupont began where we did. Simon Tissot-Dupont opened a Paris workshop in 1872 making document cases, briefcases, and travel trunks for diplomats and businessmen — objects whose quality lived in hinges, locks, frames, and fittings. The lighter, four decades on, was the same discipline applied to a smaller object. The workshop has been at Faverges in the Haute-Savoie since 1924, took in its first master lacquerer in 1935, and holds the French state's Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant designation for living heritage craft. We sell leather cases for a living. So did they, first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e This Product carries S.T.
