About Green Onyx and Art Deco Tobacciana: Green onyx, a banded variety of chalcedony, was a popular material in the early to mid20th century, especially during the Art Deco period (roughly 1920s1940s), due to its striking colours and ability to be highly polished. Its use in decorative objects, particularly tobacciana like ashtrays and lighters, was common, reflecting the era's appreciation for luxurious and exotic materials. Art Deco design emphasized geometric patterns, streamlined forms, and rich ornamentation, often incorporating materials like brass, chrome, and polished stone. Pedestal ashtrays were a common feature in homes and public spaces during this period when smoking was more prevalent and considered fashionable. These pieces were designed not just for function but as significant decorative elements, embodying the elegance and opulence of the Art Deco movement.
