This French silver-plated ice bucket dates from the period between 1900 and 1920, representing the Art Deco style in a heavy metal construction with a polished silver finish and a tapered cylindrical body. The piece displays horizontal ribbing around the upper interior rim, repeated banded mouldings circling the middle and base, and two side drop ring handles secured by rounded ball-type terminals. A few minor surface dings appear on the body alongside intact silver plating throughout. The dimensions measure 19.5 cm high, 18.5 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep. In a modern home, this functional ice or champagne bucket sits upon a sideboard top to chill drinks during dinner parties and gatherings, or serves as a decorative metal vessel displayed within a dining room or living space.

FAQs

Silver-plated ice buckets and champagne coolers gained widespread popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries across European hotels, restaurants, and private residences. Crafted to maintain serving temperatures for wine and champagne, these items became staple entertaining accessories during the Art Deco era.

These vessels typically feature a base metal, such as nickel silver or brass, electroplated with a layer of fine silver. Construction often includes reinforced bases, drop ring handles, and turned horizontal ribbing for structural integrity and decorative detail.

Authentic Christofle silver-plated pieces usually bear makers marks, including the full makers name, a hallmark containing a scales motif or initials, and quality stamps indicating the silver plating grade. Examining the base or upper rim often reveals these maker signatures and production numbers.

A silver ice bucket functions as a decorative vessel on a sideboard, bar cart, or drinks tray. Beyond cooling wine, it can be repurposed as a vase for floral arrangements or positioned as a polished tabletop focal point.

To preserve the silver plating, wash the item with warm, soapy water using a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges. Surface tarnish can be removed gently using a specialized silver polish, followed by thorough drying to prevent water spotting and oxidisation.
