Modernist silver-plated champagne and ice bucket, 1950s.

There is something wonderfully cinematic about a genuine champagne bucket. One glance and you find yourself mentally seated at a smoky Parisian cocktail party. This elegant French modernist champagne bucket dates from the 1950s and carries all the understated glamour of mid-century design. Clean architectural lines, a sculptural geometric handle, and a patinated silver finish that only decades can create. A discreet luxury long before the term became fashionable. The original silver plating has developed a beautiful patina over time, giving the piece warmth and depth. Surface scratches and signs of use remain, as expected for a beloved vintage item, and only add to its elegance. Marks that suggest it has already attended a few excellent parties before arriving at your home. Before delivery, the bucket will receive careful polishing, ready for its next chapter of candlelit dinners and celebratory toasts. Dimensions: H 25 cm X W 17 cm. Materials and Techniques: Silver-plate. Provenance: France. Period: Mid 20th century. Condition: Wear consistent with age and use.
