One of the lots at Christie's Auction House's upcoming sale of Plaza Hotel memorabilia features these "Service Area" signs!!

These plaques were used to denote an area on each floor that was "off limits" to the hotel guests!  Behind these doors dumbwaiters once delivered room service meals from the kitchens as well as packages from the laundry, for here the huge linen closets were stocked with logo towels and frette sheets.  In hidden rooms behind these doors the maids parked their carts and perhaps stopped for a smoke.    (My investigations also turned up more than a few empty mini bar bottles...so who knows what else was going on...)

Plaza Hotel Lobby Pedestal Ashtray


An original sand ashtray & receptacle from the lobby of The Plaza Hotel, New York.

A pair of these ashtrays were featured in lot 148 at Christie's Plaza Hotel auction.  They were described as Louis XV style white painted parcel gilt ashtrays circa 1940.  They sold for $2160!! (including buyers premium) 

When the smoking laws in New York changed these ash urns were used by the hotel as pedestals and plant stands.

(I think this would make a great base for a pedestal table.  It is solid & heavy!  Or perhaps just a small top and use it as an end table.)

You turn it so that the opening in the side is showing or not!

The Plaza is famous for its elegant cream and gold décor.

This may be the quintessential little piece of the hotel that you can bring into your home. 

There is a brass ashtray insert which will polish up beautifully.

Inside the urn there is a removable waste container…if you plan to use it as a waste receptacle this makes emptying it a charm!

The detail is spectacular!

I don’t know what the exterior is made of, but it is solid and heavy!  (close to 40 pounds!)

The metal insert brings the total weight to just under 50 pounds.

This piece is in great shape.  The interior metal container needs washing, the brass needs polishing and bits of the gold foil and a few paint chips need touching up…and that’s about it!

  Fill it with white sand and gently tamp the double P logo on it!!

(you can use one of the round doorknobs…they work pretty well...yes my brain is that creative!)

 The top is 14 inches by 12 inches and it stands approximately 27 inches tall.
